Maxwell
Typical applications for Maxwell
Chillers / Heat Pumps: Maxwell™ increases heat transfer in the evaporator between fluid and refrigerant, reducing compressor lift and energy consumption.
Pumps, Fans and Terminal Units: Maxwell™ increases thermal energy transfer throughout a hydronic system. Fan coil and air handling units, system pumps and supply fans can operate on lower power while maintaining comfort.
Energy Recovery Systems: Maxwell™ when added to the runaround loop increases heat transfer at the exhaust recovery coil and the air handler pre-heat/cool coil, allowing a lower flow rate in the loop and reduced pumping power.
How Maxwell works in a Chiller System
Water (or a water/glycol mix) is circulated from the chiller in a closed evaporator loop (blue lines) to air handling units (AHU). Maxwell™ can also be used in a closed condenser circuit but not with an open cooling tower.
Maxwell™ increases the transfer of heat in the chiller evaporation cycle, reducing compressor “lift” or work.
Maxwell™ also increases thermal energy transfer in the AHU coils, satisfying room setpoints more quickly, requiring less chilled water and reducing pump energy consumption.
