of the trouble. The piping seems to be' 

 properly planned; though it might be 

 well to have two more return pipes, if 

 a temperature as high as 60 degrees is 

 desired in the coldest periods. 



Nothing is said regarding the expan- 

 sion tank and its connection. This 

 should be joined to the highest part of 

 the flow pipe, which should be over the 

 boiler. From the point of connection 

 there should be a slight fall in both 

 flow and return pipes all the way back 

 to the boiler. If the expansion tank 

 is properly connected, the only diffi- 

 culty that seems probable is that there 

 is a rise in the pipe at some point, 

 where air pockets. 



TBOUBLE WITH THE DRAFT. 



I am having trouble with the draft 

 of my boiler and shall be grateful to 

 you if you can tell me the reason for 

 the trouble. I am sending you a rough 

 sketch or diagram, so as to aid you in 

 understanding my description. It is a 

 small tubular boiler, six feet long and 

 three feet in diameter, in a brick en- 

 closure eight feet long, with the smoke- 

 stack near the left-hand corner. At 

 first the boiler was connected to the 

 stack by means of a horizontal brick 

 flue, three feet long. This flue, which 

 was only a little above the level of the 

 boiler top, was connected to the right- 

 hand corner of the boiler and extended 

 crosswise to the stack. With this ar- 

 rangement, however, the draft was too 

 strong and there was no place for a 

 damper. Therefore we made a new 

 connection by running a flue, 10x12 

 inches in size, directly from th«' left- 

 hand corner of the boiler to the stack. 

 This flue enters the stack about two 

 feet farther up than the former flue. 

 Now there is no draft. It is evident 

 that I have made some mistake; can 

 you tell me what it is? L. H. E. M. 



Your description is not sufficiently 

 clear, even with the help of the draw- 

 ing, to tell just what the trouble is, as 

 the slight change made does not seem 

 sufficient to make all the difference be- 

 tween too strong a draft and no draft 

 at all. If there is nothing wrong in 

 the way the present connection is made, 

 try connecting the stack with the cen- 

 tral part of the end of the boiler, using 

 a flue with a damper, as shown in the 

 sketch. ■•

 is contained in any other

 flues set close together.) 

 This is oije reason why 

 the users oi the 



"Superior Standard'' Greenliouse Boflers 



find them perfectly satisfactory. We frequently receive re-orders 

 from florists who have tested these boilers thoroughly and found 

 them even " Superior" to our claims.

The Kroeschell Generator ptirchaoed 

 from you lome time since la glTlng excellent 

 satlBfactlon. It not only adds to tbe capac- 

 ity of the boiler, on account of the Increased 

 velocity of the hot water circulation, and conse- 

 qnently leas piping Is required, but It also seems 

 to maintain a steadier and more even 

 temperature all over the honses where It Is 

 In use. 



For instance, the new house I liave Just com- 

 pleted. 43 ft. wide by 266 ft. long, and i^lped ac- 

 cording to your instructions. Is not varying 

 more tban two degrees all over tbe house at any 

 time, and I consider that remarkable for so 

 large a house. 



Another advantage Is that, ^rhere roses are 

 crown, sulphur applied to the pipes for 

 clieckinsr mildew is much more effective,
