ASBESTOS COVER ON BOILEB. 



Please give me some information in 

 regard to putting asbestos cement on 

 hot water boilers. Should the boiler 

 be heated when thus covering it, and 

 should it be kept hot until the asbestos 

 has dried t In my experience the as- 

 bestos seems to break away from the 

 boiler and crack, instead of sticking 

 tightly to the iron. J, H. P. 



It is always well to have a low fire 

 in a boiler when putting on an asbestos 

 jacket, although it is not absolutely 

 necessary. When the cement is in place, 

 bind it to the boiler with strips of can- 

 vas, stretched tightly around it, leav- 

 ing only the doors and base uncovered. 



BOILEBS IN BATTERY. 



We enclose herewith a sketch show- 

 ing the boilers as now situated at our 

 greenhouses. Boiler A is a Kroeschell 

 boiler; it has three openings for 6-inch 

 flows and four openings for 6-inch re- 

 turns. One return is not used at pres- 

 ent and 4-inch pipe is used instead of 

 6-inch. This boiler heats three houses. 

 Boiler B is a Superior boiler, with 

 three openings for •4-inch flows and the 

 same for returns; one flow is not in use. 

 This boiler heats two houses. Boiler 

 A is large enough to heat all the five 

 houses without trouble. We desire to 

 connect the two boilers in series in 

 the most economical manner. Boiler A 

 stands about six inches lower than 

 boiler B. By connecting the boilers in 

 series we hope to be able to eliminate 

 either boiler according to the weather, 

 except, possibly, on extremely cold 

 days, when both are to be used. 



E. D. C. 



Just what size of pipe should be 

 used to connect the boilers will depend 

 upon the amount of radiating surface 

 to be heated, but nothing is said about 

 the size of the houses. The inquiry 

 states that boiler A is large enough to 

 heat all of the houses, but does not 

 make it clear that this can be done 

 with the three 4-inch flow pipes which 

 are now connected with that boiler. If 

 such is the case, however, I would 

 suggest that an additional flow pipe 

 be connected with boiler B and that 

 each flow and return pipe on one boiler 

 be connected as directly as possible
