Quick question for anyone who may be in the know...
I just scored a handful of Polysulfone quick disconnects that were used in a glycol chiller situation (they were originally used on a mammography machine to keep the X-ray tube cool)
I would like to use the quick disconnects with my current therminator, instead of buying 2 pairs and spending $40 on two sets of connectors.
I pulled the old glycol hoses off the connectors tonight to clean them and noticed the size of the barb is about 3/16" I have high temp hose that would accomodate these and may only have to replace my connections for the other side (the connector that locks into the kettle ball valve)
am i going to run into any issues using this diameter hose for my plate chiller (other than it maybe draining too slow... not sure how long it would take to drain 5+ gallons through a 3/16" size hose)
i wonder if anyone has had any experience with this and may be able to shed some wisdom on this...
