STEAM BOILER FOR WATER. 



Will you kindly answer, through your 

 heating column in Review, the follow- 

 ing: Can a liorizontal flue steam boiler 

 be successfully converted into a hot water 

 boiler, and if so what would be the nec- 

 essary changes? A. B. K. 



Yes, by enlarging the blow off pipe in 

 the rear of the bottom of the boiler to 

 the same area as the flows. Take off 

 the water columns, steam gauge and pop 

 valve. G. T. E. 



A NEW TEXAS PLACE. 



We are building two connected houses, 

 each 271^x100, two 20x100, one 16x100, 

 one 10x100, ten feet to the ridge, five 

 feet to the eaves. One gable will be 

 of glass. The sides will have twenty- 

 two inches of glass and will be double 

 boarded, with paper between. The north 

 side will be protected by a boiler-shed. 

 How shall we pipe these houses? We 

 use either 2-inch or 3-inch flows' and 2- 

 inch for return. Will a Kroeschcll No. 

 4 hot water boiler, rated at 5,000 feet 

 of 2-inch pipe or 10,500 feet of glass, 

 keep these houses at 58 degrees in zero 

 weather? F. T. 



Put in twelve 2-inch pipes in the two 

 largest houses, ten 2-inch pipes' in the 

 20-foot houses, eight 2-inch pipes in the 

 16-foot house and five 2-inch pipes in the 

 10-foot house. Run the pipes up one 

 side of the bench and down the other. 

 This is figured as two pipes. Eun the 

 flow across the ends of the houses in 

 the shed, and also the return. Put the 

 boiler down below the level of the green- 

 houses. Tee each house off of the main 

 flow and return. A Kroeschell No. 4 

 boiler will be just right, but would advise 

 putting in a larger one to provide for 

 the future growth of the place.

A TWO SECTION HOUSE. 



I have a greenhouse eighty feet long 

 and thirty feet wide, divided by a glass 

 partition into two parts of thirty feet 

 and fifty feet respectively. The height 

 of the walls is five feet, with eighteen 

 inches of glass, double boarded, with 

 building paper between. The roof is 

 even-span, twelve feet to the ridge. One 

 end of the house is glass, the other end 

 built against the shed. The benches all 

 are raised. The temperature in the

smaller part is to be 65 degrees; in the 

 larger section, 55 degrees. The minimum 

 outdoor temperature in winter is 10 de- 

 grees above zero. How would you ad- 

 vise me to pipe this house? I have 2- 

 inch pipe for the returns and I have 

 some 3-inch pipe, but do not know if the 

 latter would be large enough for the 

 flows. How many overhead flows an<l 

 how many returns will be needed in each 

 part of the house? How far above the
