Greenhouse Heating. 



HEATING WITH EXHAUST STEAM. 



. We noted that C. F. C, in The Re- 

 view of March 16, page 82, was asking 

 for information in regard to the use of 

 exhaust steam for greenhouse heating. 

 He wishes to convey the steam, he says, 

 from an electric light i)lant about 300 

 feet distant from the greenhouses. In 

 reply he is told that it is entirely prac- 

 tical to carry the steam that distance. 

 Jsow, we manufacture a device, the Tay- 

 lor Vacuum Trap, which is especially 

 adapted for use under such circum- 

 stances. To give you an idea of what 

 we are doing with exhaust steam in 

 this city. Battle Creek, Mich., we should 

 like to refer to just one instance in 

 which the trap is in successful opera- 

 tion. 



In this case the exhaust steam is 

 taken from a central power station by 

 means of an 8-inch underground pipe, 

 which runs 1,250 feet to a large printing 

 building, 200x350 feet and two stories 

 high. The exhaust steam is put in the 

 system at the power plant end, at about 

 atmospheric pressure, and is circulated 

 through 20,000 feet of 1 14 -inch pipe by 

 the use of the vacuum traps. Two 

 traps handle this amount of pipe and 

 the water is delivered back to the boiler 

 room, 1,200 feet from the printing build- 

 ing and ten feet higher. The last pipe 

 coil in the system is 1,500 feet away 

 from the point where the steam is ad- 

 mitted to the system, and is 350 feet 

 away from the traps. We have heated 

 •this factory, in zero weather, up to the 

 required temperature, which is 72 de- 

 grees in some apartments and 80 de- 

 crees in others. It is necessary to keep 

 the temperature in the building almost 

 constant, on account of the quantity of 

 ink that must be kept warm.

HEAT FOB THBEE HOUSES. 



The houses to be heated consist of 

 one house, 18x100, in carnations; one 

 house, 18x100, used for chrysanthemums 

 and sweet peas, and one house, 16x100, 

 in roses. The houses are four feet to 

 the gutters and ten feet to the ridge. 

 They are heated with a 10-section hot 

 water boiler, with a grate surface 20x 

 32 inches. The piping is all 2-inch in 

 the houses. In the carnation house there 

 are twelve runs of pipe; in the mum> 

 house, ten runs of pipe, and in the rose 

 house, eight runs. All the pipe is un- 

 derneath the side benches, and in the 

 carnation and mum houses the pipes

No loss from sudden drops in 

 temperature if you use the 



Hughson Regulating Valve 



In connection with a steam heatinsr plant. Carrr 40 or 

 50 pounds pressure on the boiler and set the valve for 5 

 or 10 pounds— it will do the rest. You'll be free from 

 worry this winter, if y">u follow this advice: " Install a 

 Hufftason Regulating Valve when making your 

 repairs " Ask for our Catalogue, which also shows 

 Steam Traps and other devices.
