Prior to Maxwell™, commercial heat transfer fluids consisted solely of water or water and glycol for its anti-freeze properties. In the Annual Energy Outlook 2022, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in 2021, electricity use for cooling the interior of buildings (space cooling) by the U.S. residential and commercial sectors was about 389 billion kilowatt hours (kWh), which equates to approximately 10% of total U.S. electricity consumption.
Therefore, a simple 10% improvement in the performance of HVAC system efficiency in the U.S. alone, would result in savings of 39 billion kWh of electricity annually. Maxwell™ increases energy savings in HVAC systems by 15% or more, thus offering tremendous energy and cost saving potential.
Applications
Chillers
Maxwell™ typically increases heat transfer in the chiller evaporator by 12.5 % to 15%, reducing compressor lift (work) and electrical energy consumption.

Heat Pumps
Maxwell™ increases the heat transfer from the outside air or condenser fluid to the system fluid through the heat exchanger. This increase in heat transfer reduces compressor lift by 12.5 % to 15%.

Energy Recovery Systems
Energy recovery systems are designed to save energy and reduce heating and cooling loads on an HVAC system. In the typical situation where no cross-contamination is required, a run-around loop is the system of choice. Read More
Pumps, Fans & Terminal Units
Maxwell™ increases thermal energy transfer throughout the hydronic system. Fan coil and air handling units, system pumps and supply fans, can operate on lower power without compromising comfort.
