No Trouble to Keep up Tefnp6ra= 

 tures with the Kroeschell 



The No. {> boiler we bought of you is heating 15,000 square feet of glass. We have no trouble to 

 keep up temperaturea of 60^ for rose houses and 62" for carnation section in the coldest weather. Your 

 boiler has given entire satisfaction. We also have a cast iron 9-8ectional boiler, but prefer the 

 KROESCHELL. This has been the coldest winter we have had in years, and we burned less coal 

 than usual. We uee your Generator and l)elieve it helps the circulation.

boiler room should not be less than 

 twenty feet square, and it would need 

 to be even larger if much coal is to be 

 stored. 



For the heating pipes, run three 214- 

 inch flows to the farther end. One of 

 these can be on each wall plate and the 

 other two feet below the ridge. Con- 

 nect each of these with a coil of four 

 2-inch return pipes, which should be 

 under the flow pipes and should have 

 a slope of one inch in ten feet back 

 toward the boiler. This will give about 

 the right temperatures in the middle 

 and west houses. To obtain a little 

 more heat in the east house, drop down 

 a 2-inch pipe from the overhead flow 

 and with it feed a coil of three 2-inch 

 pipes back to the boiler. 



HEAT FROM EXHAUST STEAM. 



1 am trying to heat my greenhouse 

 with exhaust steam from an electric 

 plant, about 250 feet away. The steam 

 is conveyed to my place through a 

 5-inch pipe, which is reduced to 3-inch 

 at the greenhouse. Inside there is an 

 elbow, from which the pipe has a direct 

 rise of two feet. Then the pipe, still 

 3-inch, runs six feet horizontally and 

 afterward at an angle of 45 degrees, 

 up to the feed pipe in the center of 

 the house, which distributes to bench 

 coils on each side, through 2-inch pipes. 

 The bench coils consist of 1%-inch pipe, 

 four pipes under each bench. All the 

 condensation is returned to a concrete 

 pit in the center of the house, where 

 a steam trap and a meter have been in- 

 stalled, in the order named; from the 

 meter a pipe runs to the sewer. 



Now, the condensation is so great 

 that no st.eam gets to the trap or meter 

 and the pipe is cold. The company 

 charges by the thousand pounds, and I 

 should like you to tell me whether they 

 ought to charge me meter rate on ex- 

 haust steam, as one would on live 

 steam. If there should be a difference, 

 what should it be? If there is any 

 mistake in the installation, I should
