Wish I'd seen this earlier. Is that one from a combi boiler?
I had quite a lot of problems trying to siphon through mine using a hop filter bag (to stop hop debris and hot break material entering the chiller). It just blocked the hop filter bag and stopped.
Do you use a pump or a filter?

Ohh! I'd never considered an old combi boiler heat exchanger!
Now on the look out for knackered combis!

We use a mash tun which we've built a filter in to using pressure hose casing so by the time the wort is being boiled down to OG, its already pretty clear. Hops goes in to a bag so that also doesn't cause a mess.
The most important thing is to flush out the heat exchanger straight afterwards.
We still dont have a fridge for the ferment so the flavours vary wildly but are always pretty good.

Sounds good!
Here's our heat exchanger in action. It really itches my geeky spot.
