Greeohoase Heating. 



RADIATION FOR SMALL HOUSE. 



I have a greenhouse 18x32, which runs 

 east and west. The north wall is seven 

 feet high, with double boards and paper 

 between, protected by a house. The south 

 wall is three feet high, with twenty inches 

 of glass, and also the east and west end 

 glass with a sloped roof. We have an old 

 thrashing-machine boiler, ten feet long 

 and thirty inches wide. The fire box is 

 three feet long and twenty-six inches 

 wide, with thirty-two 2-inch flues five feet 

 long. I want to heat the greenhouse with 

 low pressure steam. The boiler is in the 

 basement of our residence, four feet below 

 the greenhouse; I have to run a pipe 

 underground, ten feet from our base- 

 ment to the greenhouse. Will you please 

 tell me what size, and how much pipe is 

 required for the above sizes? We have 

 solid beds. How high must the pipes be 

 from the beds? Will pipes be sufficient 

 around the side walls, or is it necessary 

 to run them through the center of the 

 greenhouse? C. H. 



Use a 2-inch flow pipe from the boiler 

 and 1%-inch returns. Three li^-inch 

 pipes on each side wall and one line 

 through the center of the house will do. 

 The pipes may be placed above or at the 

 same level as the beds, as desired.

THREE CONNECTED HOUSES. 



Please give me instructions how to in- 

 stall with hot water and a Kroeschell No. 

 6 boiler the radiation for three con- 

 nected houses, each 28x100 and seven feet 

 high. A general line will be planted 

 and about two-thirds of it to lettuce and 

 radishes. We have some zero weather 

 and lower. The boiler-house will be on 

 the north and 16x50 feet. The houses 

 run north and south. I wish to hang the 

 piping on the posts and purlin supports, 

 and as there will be mostly solid beds, 

 wish to plan to have them out of the 

 way as much as possible. I can get a 

 lot of 2-inch and 3-inch pipe and prefer 

 to use this size. J. E. H. 



It will. take twelve runs of 3-inch pipe 

 in ea«h house. This will be six flows and

six returns in each house. Bun a main 

 flow pipe across the end of the houses, 

 and a main return to the boiler under it, 

 with about two feet space between. Put 

 the tees in the flow and return opposite 

 the posts in the houses and that will 

 keep the pipes well out of the way. 

 Put a flow and return under each gutter 

 and an extra circulation on the outside 

 walls. G. T. E. 



PARTITIONING A GREENHOUSE. 



We have a house seventeen feet wide 

 and ten- feet to the ridge, of which we 

 want to partition off fifty feet, to carry 

 a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees. There 

 is a 4-inch flow, with four 3-inch re- 

 turns and one li/^-inch return, in the 

 house. How many more returns, off a 

 3-ineh flow, will it require to heat to 

 65 degrees in this Iowa climate? We

 smaller sizes are better. B. H. G. 



It will take six 2-inch return pipes to
