Maxwell™ is an innovative heat transfer nanofluid additive that dramatically improves the energy efficiency of water-based hydronic cooling and heating systems, improving heat transfer by up to 15%.
Maxwell is suitable for cooling, heating and process applications, such as chillers, heat pumps, energy recovery systems, pump fans and terminal units.
Maxwell™ is named after James Clerk Maxwell, the pioneering Scottish scientist who, in the late 19th Century, discovered that adding metallic particles to water improved thermal energy transfer, thus creating the world’s first heat transfer fluid.
Over a century later, Maxwell™ is our patented implementation of this discovery, allowing systems using closed hydronic loops to benefit from the thermal properties of stable suspensions of metallic nanoparticles.
How does
Water (or a water/glycol mix) is circulated from the chiller in a closed evaporator loop to Air Handling Units (‘AHU’). Maxwell™ increases heat transfer in the chiller evaporation cycle, reducing compressor “lift” or work reducing the consumption of electrical energy.
Maxwell™ also increases thermal energy transfer in the AHU coils, allowing higher chilled water set points and lower fluid and air flow rates through pumps and fans, reducing their electrical power consumption.
Maxwell™ can also be used in a closed condenser circuit but not with an open cooling tower.
Why choose enPact
Maxwell significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions while delivering improved equipment performance.
