A Correspondent at Washington, D. C, writes: "I am Figuring on a greenhouse job and want to run my pipes in accordance with the annexed sketch. Will the arrangement work? C is a 100-foot coil under a hot-bed, and it must be supplied from the main A on the other side of the path P without obstructing the passageway. This coil is the last at the end of pipe A.

Hot Water Circulation In A Greenhouse 329

"I think it would circulate all right by going over the walk and having another bend around under it as shown. The main A is higher up than the branch to the coil. If this will not work, what would you suggest ?"

[The lower loops D, J, K, K are unnecessary. The arrangement will circulate through the upper loops D, E, G, H if the air be prevented from collecting there. This can be readily done by connecting a vent pipe E L to reach up above the expansion tank and open at the top. This can be the more easily done since in a greenhouse system the tank is rarely very much elevated.]
