Problem
Many water-based heating and cooling systems operate below peak efficiency due to limitations in heat transfer, leading to increased energy consumption and higher carbon emissions. Retrofitting existing systems to improve heat transfer can be expensive and disruptive, often requiring significant downtime.
Solution
HT Materials Science offers Maxwell™, a non-toxic nanofluid additive designed to enhance heat transfer efficiency in water and water/glycol-based closed-loop systems by up to 15%. This "drop-in" solution improves energy efficiency and reduces carbon footprint without requiring system retrofits or downtime. Maxwell™ can be used in chillers, heat pumps, and energy recovery units across various industries, including commercial buildings, data centers, and manufacturing facilities. The nanofluid comprises just 2% of the overall system fluid volume and is designed for easy installation and minimal maintenance.
Target Audience
The primary customers are energy-intensive businesses and those in the building and manufacturing sectors, including commercial office buildings, data centers, healthcare complexes, and manufacturing facilities.
