Steam vs Hot Water Heating in Greenhouses
Professor Moore of Wisconsin outlines the trade offs between steam and hot water heating for greenhouses. Steam suits crooked circuits, distributes heat evenly, and costs 15 to 20 percent less to install, while hot water uses less fuel, has fewer breaks, lasts longer, and needs no night fireman. Plants are similarly affected, so choice hinges on initial cost versus long term repairs, fuel use, and system longevity.
