^Where There Is Condeosation ^ 



—there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place— means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish— if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly—return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. OBey that 

 impulse — write now.

temperature in either part? Should it 

 not be at the top or highest part of the 

 flow, if used at all? J. F. T. 



In heating a greenhouse, either with 

 steam or hot water, the simplest and at 

 the same time the best method is to 

 carry one or more mains to the farther 

 end of the house, and there connect 

 with the coils, which will serve as re- 

 turu pipes. The important point is to 

 have the number and size of the flow 

 pipes adjusted to the amount of radia- 

 tion, and then use a sufficient number 

 of pipes in the coils to maintain the de- 

 sired temperature. Just what size of 

 pipes should be used depends upon the 

 length of the houses and the amount of 

 radiation. 



i For a house 20x65 feet, to be heated 

 with ho*^ water to 50 degrees, two 2- 

 inch flow- pipes and ten l^/^-inch re- 

 turns — or,' better yet, eight 2-inch — 

 should be used. To maintain 60 de- 

 grees in the end of the house next to 

 the boiler, four additional 1%-inch or 

 three 2-inch returns will be needed. 

 These can be connected to two of the 

 returns where they enter the room, or a 

 1%-inch feed pipe can be taken off 

 from one of the returns overhead. If 

 the latter method is followed, there 

 should be a valve on the supply pipe 

 so "that the flow can be regulated. So 

 far as the returns are concerned, this 

 would require only fourteen IV^-inch 

 returns in the house 15x20, and, as al- 

 ready pointed out, ten of them should 

 be connected with the ten pipes re- 

 quired in the new part of the house; 

 the others may be connected directly 

 to one of the flow pipes or treated as 

 branch pipes from two of the long 

 runs. 



VABIOUS INQUIBIES. 



In The Review rf September 28, page 

 90, you gave me a piping plan for my 

 greenhouse. As I know extremely lit- 

 tle about this work, I should like to 

 get a little more information. Should 

 all the flow pipes be of the same height 

 or should the center flow b'e higher than 

 the flows on the side walls? The boiler 

 is tapped for a 4-inch pipe; should a 

 4-inch return be run from the boiler to 

 the house and then along the ends of 

 the benches, so that 2-inch returns can 

 be connected to it from the end of each 

 bench and from the side walls? As to

Condensation Is the purest kind of boiler feed water. Don't waste it. Return it directly to the boiler 

 by "Detroit" Ketum Traps and prevent scale formation.
