Just been testing out a plate heat exchanger - the side that the wort flows through has some nice quick release clamp connectors (Cam and groove I do believe) on the in and out which are superb with no leaks
The other side that the water flows through how ever has these (pictured) connectors so I pushed the hose on one end and the outlet pipe on the other then used some jubilee clips on them to secure in place how ever as soon as the water started flowing and it heated up the pipe water started leaking out on both sides and I then had to really over tighten the jubilee clips to stop it
I had the same issue with the copper coil cooler I was using before
I am wondering if there is any better way of doing this as im guessing im not the only one and im hoping someone might have a solution to the problem - Is there a better connector or even would it be possible to revove this barbed one and use something else that does not leak - Looks like there is not enough room for another Cam and groove connector so that wont be an option
Getting fed up with cleaning up water from all over the place every time i cool down some wort - Glad i was only testing it all with water today lol
Any advice for a good solid connection much appreciated
