INITIAL PILOT COMPLAINT OF COLD COCKPIT AT ALTITUDE (41,000 FEET) AND LOW FLOW OF CONDITIONED AIR.  NEXT FLIGHT HAD COLD COCKPIT AND CABIN AND LOW FLOW OF CONDITIONED AIR AFTER CLIMBING PAST 20,000 FEET.

MAINT INSP PRESS DUCTS AND FOUND HOSE CLAMP HAD SLIPPED OFF COUPLING SLEEVE WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO WARM AIR TAIL CONE TUBE EXITING FUSELAGE SKIN DOWN STREAM OF RT MIXING MUFF.  IT APPEARED CLAMP WAS INSTALLED ON BEAD OF THE WARM AIR TUBE, AS NOT ENOUGH OF SLEEVE CAME PAST THE BEAD.
