WHAT THE USERS SAY 



Test at 8^' below zero— No. 8 Kroeachell Boiler carries 80,600 



square feet glass. 



Our beating system works to perfection. To our surprise the new No. 8 Kroesoliell 

 Boiler mastered the whole plant, consisting of 5 houses, 20x150. We only deemed it neces- 

 sary to start our second boiler when the temperature went down to 8" below zero. 



We had expected to use both boilers in cold weather, but the one boiler did such 

 excellent work that we did not run the two boilers until the very cold weather set in. It 

 was a very easy matter to keep the temperature up in the very coldest weather and 

 stormiest nights. The 5 houses have 20,500 square feet of glass; the No. 8 boiler is rated at 

 16,500 square feet of glasit.

16-inch flue will require about 4,000 

 brick, if an 8-inch wall is constructed. 

 If the chimney is in an exposed place 

 and is not supported in any way, it 

 will make it safer if a 12-inch wall is 

 constructed to the height of six feet, 

 above which an 8-inch wall would 

 answer. This would add 500 brick. On 

 the other band, a considerable saving 

 of expense can be secured if but one 

 tier of bricks is used for the upper six 

 feet of the chimney, and it will be 

 fairly substantial. 



BOILEB IN BESIDENCE CELLAR. 



I wish to put a small boiler in the 

 cellar of my dwelling house, in which 

 I intend to heat the lower part, three 

 rooms only. Would a water supply tank 

 on the second floor serve for expansion 

 also, or would it be better to run an 

 expansion pipe up into it — I mean over 

 the top of the supply tank? Or how 

 would it work best? M. B. 



It makes no difference what is used 

 for a supply or expansion tank, pro- 

 vided it is above the highest part of 

 the heater and is large enough to fill 

 the pipes when the water cools. Under 

 the circumstances described, all that 

 will be necessary will be to connect the 

 flow pipe with the supply tank, although 

 it is generally advisable to have the 

 expansion tank as high as possible, as 

 this has a tendency to prevent the boil- 

 ing over of the water in the boiler. 



A SMALL NEW JERSEY HOUSE. 



Will you please tell me how to heat 

 my house with hot water so as to main- 

 tain a temperature of 52 degrees in 

 zero weather? It is necessary for me 

 to have overhead heating. I want to 

 run a 2-inch flow out of my boiler, 

 through a shed thirty feet to the green- 

 house and then under the ridge to the 

 extreme end. My house is 20x28 and 

 three-quarter span. It has 16-foot bars 

 to the south and 9-foot bars to the 

 north. The ridge is ten feet high. The 

 side walls are five feet high, with 

 eighteen inches of glass in the south 

 and north sides and the east and west 

 ends glass. The house will have four 

 benches. How many 2-inch return 

 pipes will be needed under each bench? 



G. W. H. 



While less than 200 feet of radiating 

 surface would be required to heat the 

 house, and this amount can ordinarily 

 be carried by means of a 2-inch flow 

 pipe, from the fact that the house is 

 only twenty-eight feet long it will be 

 necessary to use a large number of re- 

 turns in order to secure the needed
