Fitting and Hose Clamp Selection for Cold Plates and Heat Exchangers

From Lytron Inc.

The selection of the proper fittings and hose clamps for cold plates and heat exchangers is critical to a reliable liquid cooling system. It can prevent unnecessary downtime and equipment damage. Based on over 40 years experience with scores of fittings and clamps in hundreds of applications, we have found two options which have proved to be superior. Below we discuss the use of beaded fittings and the advantages and disadvantages of the two preferred clamp options.
