be run to the boiler and there reduced 

 to 2-inch, but it would be better to 

 have a 2l^-inch opening. 



With a flow of this size it will be 

 possible to maintain a temperature of 

 52 degrees by the use of ten 2-inch re- 

 turns, provided the house is well built 

 and is not especially exposed; other- 

 wise one or two additional pipes should 

 be put in and distributed under the 

 benches, with the greater number under 

 the outside benches. Provided the end 

 of the house is of exposed glass, it will 

 be a good plan to drop down with the 

 flow pipe at the farther end and put 

 in a coil across the end with 100 linear 

 feet of 2-inch pipe. 



POOR CIRCUIiATION. 



I am having trouble with my heating 

 plant. I have a liouse 20x100 feet, 

 heated by a hot water boiler, 10 feet x 

 30 inches, and twelve 2-inch returns. It 

 worked all right last winter, but uo\V 

 the water does not appear to circulate 

 just right. We cleaned the boiler and 

 returns three times, without result. 



I have a mercury heat regulator, 

 which I am sure is out of order. Last 

 winter I ran the boiler at about 160 de- 

 grees, which would heat the house at 

 night to 50 or 55 degrees in the coldest 

 weather. I now have to run the boiler 

 at 180 to 200 degrees, and it is hard 

 work to keep the house up to 45 and 50 

 degrees or lower. When the heat reaches 

 200 degrees in the boiler, it is liable to 

 blow off through the expansion tank, 

 something it did not do all last winter. 

 Can you tell me the cause of this, and 

 how to correct it? E. P. M. 



While it is not possible to tell from 

 the description just what is the trouble 

 with the heating system, it is quite evi- 

 dent, for one thing, that tiie mercury 

 regulator is out of order, as otherwise 

 the water would have to reach a tem- 

 perature considerably higher than 200 

 degrees before it would boil. There may 

 also be some trouble with the piping 

 itself, for if the water circulated prop- 

 erly there should be no difficulty in 

 maintaining a temperature of 55 degrees 

 even with an open system.
