HT Materials Science (HTMS), a leader in energy-efficient nanofluid solutions, was recognized at the 2024 Asian Power Awards for its collaboration with Tabreed, the world’s leading district cooling company. The award for District Cooling Initiative of the Year – UAE – honors a pilot study using HTMS’s pioneering nanofluid additive branded Maxwell at a Tabreed district-cooling plant in Abu Dhabi. The project proved that by using Maxwell in the plant’s chilled water loop, Tabreed achieved an impressive 13.5 percent increase in cooling system efficiency.
Maxwell is an engineered suspension of sub-micron aluminium oxide particles in a base fluid of water or water/glycol. This drop-in solution enhances heat-transfer efficiency in commercial and industrial HVAC systems, without requiring capex or equipment replacement. By improving heat transfer, Maxwell allows HVAC systems to achieve higher operational efficiency and lower energy consumption.
The success of this collaboration highlights HTMS’s ability to address the growing need for sustainable cooling technologies across the globe. The company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of HVAC efficiency while supporting key environmental initiatives.
The Asian Power Awards recognize innovative, ground-breaking projects and initiatives by power and energy companies.
