Maxwell™ W

Maxwell™ W is a patented engineered suspension of submicron aluminium oxide (Al2O3) particles in water. Maxwell™ W is produced in concentrated form (15%) and diluted on-site to 2% of system volume when added to the base fluid of a closed, hydronic, HVAC system or other water-based cooling process. Maxwell™ is installed while systems are in operational mode.

At a final concentration of 2%, Maxwell™ W delivers an increase in thermal energy transfer of up to 15% and potentially more. It is safe for all typical components and materials in mechanical systems and will not reduce the life expectancy of the base fluid.

Maxwell™ W has been evaluated for effects on corrosion, using ASTM guidelines, and for metals and synthetic materials commonly used in the construction of thermal systems. Because of its effectiveness, typical payback for installations of Maxwell™ is 2 to 4 years, depending on system volume, utilisation and power cost.
