I have searched the board and it seems that measuring the temp at the HERMS exit is the best approach. I went ahead and ran a test measuring at three points every minute with the HLT burner on medium flame.. My system is a 3 sanke systme with 50 feet of copper coil tubing heat exchange in the HLT. The MLT has no direct heat source. I have calibrated the thermometers which are mounted in the MLT and HLT at the same place. I measured the HERMS exit with an instant read digital thermometer at the exit of the hose where it would attach to the sparge arm..
My concern is the big differences in the MLT and HERMS exit temps.. I knew the HLT would be hotter. What should I rely on and how should I run this set up??
I enclosed a graph of my findings and pics of my system
