Maxwell
Reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions
Maxwell is the first commercial heat transfer fluid additive to provide higher heat capacity for water. Disruptive improvements in cooling fluids are the key to reducing energy use. HTMS is in the vanguard to deliver the promise of nanofluids with the release of Maxwell. Maxwell’s unique ability to suspend nanoparticles in water provides the HVAC industry with its first commercially available nano-based heat transfer fluid additive.
Company/Institution
HT Materials Science
HT Materials Science (‘HTMS’) was founded in 2018 to develop a heat transfer fluid for commercial and industrial HVAC markets.HTMS is the developer of Maxwell – an innovative, sub-micron heat transfer fluid. Maxwell is a drop-in additive for use in new or existing commercial and industrial heating and cooling systems. Maxwell enhances heat transfer, resulting in a substantial reduction in energy consumption and an increase in system capacity. The company is headquartered in Ireland with offices in Dublin, Italy and New York. For more information visit www.htmaterialsscience.com
