The coils or radia-tors are similar to those usedwith steam, but they requireto be larger, owing to thefact that water is lower intemperature than steam. Itwill be evident that the pipesshould have a continuousrise from the boiler to thetop of the coil or radiator,in order that the water maycirculate properly. Thesame precaution should beobserved with steam, other-wise water will collect inthe dips in the pipe, and thesteam will be forced throughwith a series of small ex-plosions, causing crackingsounds in the pipes. In hot-water heating the supply-tank must be higher than thehighest radiator ; a small tank will suffice, as the amountof water lost by evaporation is very lit
