Greenhouse Heating. 



It is said that steam binding is a 

 fault common to all pumps used for 

 clearing condensation returns and that 

 more or less trouble from this source has 

 until now been looked upon as inevitable. 

 This lends interest to the report that the 

 Chicago Pump Co., manufacturer of the 

 automatic electric condensation pump 

 that is in use in many greenhouses, has 

 applied for a patent on a device that is 

 said to prevent the pump from becoming 

 steam bound. 



MISSOXtRI OABNATION HOUSES. 



I have two new greenhouses, run- 

 ning north and south, with the boiler 

 house at the northwest corner. The 

 houses are each 20i^xl50, with no parti- 

 tion between them. The outside walls 

 are four feet high. The east wall is 

 entirely of glass and the west wall con- 

 tains two feet of glass. The ground 

 slopes toward the north at the rate of 

 a foot and a half in 100 feet. The 

 houses are not protected in any way. 

 They will be used for carnations and 

 there will be no benches. The soil in 

 which the carnations will be planted 

 will be raised one foot; or, rather, the 

 walks will be one foot lower than the 

 beds. 



I shall heat with hot water and shall 

 do the piping myself. I have a lot of 

 1%-inch and 2-inch pipe on hand and 

 wish to use it. If I use 3-inch flows, 

 can I use the smaller pipe for returns? 

 How shall I arrange the piping? Shall 

 I place the boiler in a pit or use a 

 generator on the lever? A. L. Y. 



Three-inch pipe can be used as flow 

 pipes, placing one on each wall of each 

 of the houses. Nine 2-inch or eleven 

 1 Mi-inch pipes should be used as re- 

 turns in each house, placing one more 

 on the outer walls than on the inside 

 walls. If the east wall is much ex- 

 posed, an additional return might be 

 needed. Give the flow pipes, which 

 should he carried on the plates, a slight 

 fall, and connect them at the farther 

 end of the house with the return coils. 

 These, also, should fall toward the 

 boiler. There should be one 4-inch flow 

 pipe leading from the boiler to each of

are all satisfied with the results it has given, end many

 tain a steady pressure on tue low side, no matter 

 how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the boiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a 

 reserve to fall back on in ra=e of a sudden drop in Vm-
