contains thirty 3%-inch flues and is 

 fourteen feet long, with a 42-inch shell.

To heat a house 32x100, with two feet 

 of glass in one side, using steam, a 

 2%-inch flow pipe should be run about 

 three feet below the ridge and five 114- 

 inch returns should be brought back 

 on each wall. Although I prefer to 

 use 1^-inch returns, 1-inch returns can 

 be used to good advantage in houses of 

 this length, but three additional returns 

 will be required. The extra pipe should 

 be put in on the south side of the house. 

 The boiler would appear to be slightly 

 above the rating given it, and would 

 be able to heat to 55 degrees five or six 

 houses of the size planned. 



A SMALL ONTARIO HOUSE. 



Will you kindly have your heating 

 expert inform me as to the best way 

 of heating a small greenhouse with hot 

 water? Let me know about the dis- 

 tribution of the pipes, etc. I am located 

 in the extreme south of Ontario, Can., 

 not far from the latitude of Detroit, 

 Mich., and I wish to maintain a tem- 

 perature of about 60 degrees. What is 

 the smallest size of pipe that could be 

 used satisfactorily? Would it be ad- 

 visable to use a boiler which is rated as 

 being able to heat twice the glass area 

 that I have? I am enclosing a diagram 

 which, I hope, will give all necessary 

 facts concerning the house. 



E. A. V. 



The sketch shows a house 12x25 feet, 

 with walls five feet two inches high, 

 containing two and one-half feet of 

 glass. To heat this house to 60 degrees, 

 I would suggest the use of three 2%- 

 inch flows, locating one on each plate 

 and the other two feet under the ridge. 

 With the middle flow pipe supply thr^e 

 2-inch returns under the middle bench 

 and connect each of the other flow 

 pipes with two 2-inch returns under 

 each of the side benches. If there is 

 any particular reason why small pipe 

 must be used, install three l^^-inch flow 

 pipes and twelve l^/i-inch returns, or 

 three 2-inch flows and nine 1% -inch re- 

 turns. 



There is a great variation in the rat- 

 ing of boilers, but it is always well to 

 have a good margin of power and the 

 boiler mentioned is likely to prove none 

 too large.
