Convert 12/16 to 16/22: Chiller

[alvinchan80]

my chiller currently is using Hailea 150A but its connector is actually for using 12/16 hose. Is there anywhere that i can find spare part to change that connector into one for 16/22 hose?

i am wondering if it is because i am using a converting connector of changing a 16/22 hose into a 12/16 hose into the chiller, and after the chiller convert it back from 12/16 to 16/22 hose for my 17mm lily pipe that my flow is cut..

I'm not an expert, but I don't think having a shrink point like that would cause such a drastic reduction in your water flow as you described in your other thread, I myself have a similar setup but I am not experiencing a significant drop in water pressure. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you bro.. I just want to minimize all the possible possibility that will be causing a reduced flowrate...

From what I understand, flowrate is consistent because it is determined by the pump output minus all the fitting/ joints losses and friction. If we exclude the theory of laminar, turbulent flow and look at simple equation.

Flowrate = flow velocity x cross section area

Therefore

Velocity of 16mm pipe x cross section area of 16mm pipe = Velocity of 22mm pipe x cross section area of 22mm pipe

Dont worry about it affecting your flowrate but rather your flow velocity will increase/ decrease depending on whether you convert to a bigger size or smaller size

Cheers!
