Heats Up Some, and Quick 



ijl'' • Alva. Oklahoma, Jan. 4 1911. 



Oentlemen : I thought I had better let you know something about the heating plant you 

 sold me Well, we had a blizzard here the last three days and nights and the thurmometer 

 Went down to 11" below zero. Most everything in town froze up and people lost all their 

 plants, but we are doing business at the old stand. We had no trouble to knep up the watnr 

 in boi er to 170 and maintained growing temperatures in houses with part of the piping 

 turned oft. We are sure we can hold the temperature at 20 below zero. This boiler and piping 

 system surely heats some, and quick. Yours very truly.

ONE OHIO HOUSE. 



'I am planning to build a greenhouse, 

 running east and west. It will be 

 24x93 and eleven feet to the ridge. The 

 sides will be three and one-half feet 

 high. Two thicknesses of weather 

 boards will be used on the sides. Both 

 gable ends will be exposed to the 

 weather. The boiler pit will be at the 

 west end and will be about forty inches 

 deeper than the greenhouse floor. Hot 

 water will be used and I wish to main- 

 tain a temperature of 60 degrees in 

 zero weather. How much radiation 

 will be required? How large a flow and 

 how many 2-inch returns will be 

 needed? I wish to run the returns 

 under the side benches. How large an 

 expansion tank will be necessary and 

 how high above the boiler should the 

 tank be? M. W. 



To heat the house described to 60 

 degrees, about 1,000 square feet of 

 radiation should be used, and this will 

 make it desirable to put in three 2%- 

 inch flow pipes. One of these can be 

 about two feet below the ridge and one 

 of the others on each of the plates. 

 In addition to the flow pipes, about 

 thirteen 2-inch returns will be needed, 

 of which three can be on each wall 

 and the others should be distributed 

 under the benches. 



It is generally best to have the flow 

 pipes carried with a slight drop toward 

 the farther end of the house, and the 

 returns should, of course, be given a 

 fall toward the heater, but all of the 

 pipes should be kept as high as pos- 

 sible. The expansion tank should hold 

 about ten gallons of water and may be 

 anywhere from two to ten feet above 

 the highest part of the flow pipe.
