The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



March 7, 1912. 



the returns along the south wall and 

 the others under the benches. We wish 

 to give The Review's Heating Depart- 

 ment credit for the success of our pres- 

 ent system of piping. C. B. 



The new house will require about 

 600 square feet of radiating surface 

 to heat it to 60 degrees, and about 90 

 feet will be needed in the salesroom. 

 The proposed pipiiig, two 2y2-inch flow 

 pipes and eleven 2-inch returns, is en- 

 tirely correct, and the plan of having 

 eight pipes under the beds and three 

 upon the wall is a good one. 



To heat the new rose house, with the 

 workroom at the end, it will be well to 

 run a 3-inch main from the boiler and 

 use a main return of the same size. If 

 possible, run the flow pipes downhill 

 and connect the expansion tank with 

 the highest point. To heat the office, 

 either use radiators, or put in 150 feet 

 of 2-inch pipe in wall coils. For the 

 other two houses connect the four 2i/^- 

 inch flow pipes with a 4-inch main flow 

 and run this to the boiler, where it can 

 be connected with the remaining port 

 by means of a 4 x 3-inch reducer. The 

 size of the main flow should be the 

 same as that used for the main return. 



If the houses are piped as directed, 

 there will be no difficulty in securing 

 the temperatures mentioned and there 

 will be no occasion for changing 

 to a steam heating system in severe 

 weather. If this is to be done, it would 

 be better to use 2-inch pipe for the 

 flows in the houses and li^-inch pipe 

 for the returns, and the only change 

 that will be required will be to have a 

 shut-off valve in the pipe leading to the 

 expansion tank and automatic air 

 valves at the lower end of each of the 

 coils, provided, of course, that the lower 

 end of the coils is at least two feet 

 above the top of the boiler. Piped 

 in this way, it will be possible to main- 

 tain the temperatures desired with hot 

 water in ordinary weather and then use 

 steam when the temperature approaches 

 the zero mark. Really, for houses of 

 this size it is better to put in enough 

 pipe so that they can be heated with 

 hot water, as the cost of the fuel when 

 steam is used will be about twenty- 

 five per cent greater, besides the bother 

 of changing and the extra care that 

 will be required.
