I have a greenhouse 14x37 and ten and one-half feet high to the ridge. The side walls are six and one-half feet high and there are two feet of glass in the east wall. The house runs north and south and is protected on the west side by another greenhouse. How much steam radiation will be re- quired to heat the house to 60 degrees in zero weather? How many lineal feet of 2-inch pipe will be needed to heat the house? Which arrangement of the returns is the more effective, on the side walls or under the benches? How many feet of steam radiation is repre- sented by a shell boiler six feet in length and three feet in diameter, con- taining seventy 1%-inch flues, four feet long, with return fire? The boiler is bricked in. A. W. F.—Mich. A greenhouse like that described, with two feet of exposed glass in one dTSe wall, can be heated to 60 degrees by using 125 square feet of steam ra- diation. If 2-inch pipe is used for both flows and returns, we would install one flow and four returns, but we would prefer to use six 1%-inch returns. We recommend placing part of the returns under the benches, if they are not placed too near the bench bottoms and if care is taken to avoid the drying out of the soil. However, when there are walks located along the walls, and espe- cially if there is glass in the walls, we would have about one-half of the re- turns on the walls. For small greenhouses we prefer to use hot water radiation, since it gives a more regular temperature and re-. IM
