Where There Is Condeosatiofl 



— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place— means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

 saves both fuel and worry. Ask

how to avoid burning so much coal. We 

 are located in northeastern Illinois and 

 we run the houses at a temperature of 

 48 to 50 degrees. F. B. 



The amount of coal consumed would 

 seem to be double the quantity that 

 ;<hould be used. Just what the trouble 

 is can not be told from the description 

 given. It would appear that there is 

 something wrong with the working of 

 the trap, but what it is can only be 

 told by an examination. It is possible 

 that the trap is not properly connected.

Kindly advise me how to heat my 

 greenhouse successfully with steam. 

 The house runs east and west. It is 

 12x60 feet, six feet high to the eaves 

 and eleven feet to the ridge. The 

 south wall contains one and a half feet 

 of glass; the rest of the walls are 

 double boarded. The boiler is of the

J. B. Mcgarland, of Grancer.Wasb.. write* 

 us as follows:—" I would like to say a word 

 of praise for the thermostat. I have had 

 mine and used It for two years In connec- 

 tion with the orchard heaters. It has always 

 given perfect satisfaction. Although I am 

 not over enthusiastic on the orchard heating 

 proposition, I would not do without the 

 frost alarm for twice the price. 



"At this time of the year, when the 

 weather Is so uncertain, I place the thermo- 

 stat in the packing shed. I can go to sleep 

 at night feeling sure that if the weather get» 

 too severe I will be awakened and can go 

 and take measures to protect the fruit in 

 storage: or if a fire should break out I 

 would be aroused." 



The Standard Thermostat is Just as- 

 useful in the greenhouse as in the orchard. 



Anybody can put it up— only a screwdriver needed — 

 and full directions with each Instrument.

upright form and has a capacity of six 

 horse-power. Please let me know what 

 piping should be required to heat this 

 house to 60 degrees in zero weather. 

 What size of pipe should be used to re- 

 turn the water to the boiler? 



At present the coils under the benches 

 are just below the water line in the 

 boiler. They are always full of water 

 and do not heat with less than twenty- 

 five pounds of steam. I think the pipe 

 that enters the boiler is too small to 

 carry the condensed water. When the 

 boiler is being filled, if the water is 

 low in the gauge the cold water backs 



up into the coils instead of entering 

 the boiler, even when the gauge shows 

 only ten pounds of steam pressure. How 

 much lower should the boiler be than 

 the end of the lowest coil? My loca- 

 tion is southeastern Michigan.

To heat a house 12x60 feet, with one 

 and a half feet of glass in the south 

 wall, to 60 degrees in zero weather will 

 require about 180 square feet of radiat- 

 ing surface, using low pressure steam. 

 This can be supplied by means of one
