TWO SMALL HOUSES. 



I am building two houses, each 12x40 

 feet, running east and west. One house 

 is for violets and the other for sweet 

 peas. Would two flows and six returns 

 be sufficient in each house, for hot water 

 heat, in this part of Illinois f H. C. O. 



To heat a violet house, 12x40 feet, in 

 central Illinois, it will only be necessary 

 to use two 2-ineh flows and four 2-inch 

 returns. If it is preferred to use 1%- 

 inch pipe, two flows and six returns will 

 be required. It will probably be well to 

 pat in piping in the other house capable 

 of maintaining 60 degrees. This will re- 

 quire two 2-inch flows and six 2-inch re- 

 tams. All of the pipes can be on the 

 walls. 



MUSHROOM HOUSE AND LEAN-TO 



Enclosed you will find a sketch of my 

 mushroom plant and greenhouse. Please 

 state how to pipe them and what size of 

 hot water boiler will be required. 



The buildings are located on a hill- 

 Bide and run east and west, with the fer- 

 menting house on the highest ground. 

 The fermenting house has brick walls 

 and a shingle roof and should have a 

 temperature of 40 to 50 degrees. The 

 musdiroom cellar is built of stone, under- 

 ground, in the side bank. Its natural 

 temperature in zero weather is 38 de- 

 grees, and I should like to heat it to 

 iibout 50 or 55 degrees. The greenhouse 

 is of lean-to form, facing south and 

 leaning against the mushroom cellar. The 

 front wall is of brick and is five feet 

 high. TJiis house needs a temperature of 

 ()0 degrees. In this part of Massachu- 

 Petts the outside temperature sometimes 

 • iTops to 15 degrees below zero. F. E. 



The sketch and description are not 

 tiear enough to determine positively the 

 f"2e of the different houses, but it ap- 

 pears that the fermenting house is 20x68

feet, the mushroom house of the same 

 floor dimensions and twelve feet high, and 

 the greenhouse 21x72 feet, without any 

 glass below the level of the plate. If 

 that is correct, the desired temperature 

 could be secured by using 300 square feet 

 of radiation in the fermenting house, 200 

 feet in the mushroom house and 800 feet 

 in the greenhouse. 



To supply this amount of radiation, 

 the boiler should have the capacity to 

 heat 1,600 to 1,800 square feet of radia- 

 tion. In the fermenting house it will be 

 well to use two 2-inch flow pipes and six 

 2-inch returns; in the mushroom house 

 use two 2-ineh flows and four returns; in 

 the greenhouse, three 2 ^^ -inch flows and 

 fourteen 2-inch return pipes. 



HEAT FROM COIL IN FURNACE. 



We have four connected houses, each 

 25x70 feet, five feet to the gutter and 

 twelve feet to the ridge. We intend to 

 heat with hot water. We wish to heat 

 three of the houses with a ten horse- 

 power return tubular horizontal boiler,

and the other house with a coil in the fur- 

 nace. Will a boiler of that size heat 

 three houses to 55 degrees in the coldest 

 weather, which in this part of Oregon is 

 about 16 degrees above zerot Will a 

 coil of about twenty 1^-inch pipes, five 

 feet long, heat the fourth house to 60 

 degrees in our coldest weather f We in- 

 tend to put one coil of about ten pipes 

 on each side of the furnace. If we can- 

 not get enough heat from that size of 

 coil, would it be advisable to enlarge the 

 coil by putting in a pipe coil instead of 

 grates in the furnace? We burn wood. 

 What do you consider the beat way of 

 piping these houses t 8. B. -
