“Commercial and industrial heating and cooling applications in particular require a lot of energy and therefore cause significant CO2 emissions. This innovative solution in the form of a heat transfer fluid can be modified to fit existing systems, saving costs and clearly reducing energy consumption.” -Official jury statement
Maxwell is an innovative heat transfer fluid additive that provides higher heat capacity for water- or glycol-based HVAC systems. Improving fluid properties in cooling or heating systems is key to reducing energy use. HT Materials Science is at the forefront of realizing the promise of nanofluid additives with the launch of Maxwell.
