“Hydromx® is an organic substance has properties similar to water, specific heat close to water but in terms of heat transfer, it actually conducts heat much better than water, reaches target temperature quicker than water, respond time more than twice times a water. It is noticed that in different temperatures Hydromx® reacts and starts to transfer heat in one minute while water took five minutes to react and reach the same temperature. That is a respond rate of five times better than water. The particular properties and the molecular connections of the nano-particles within the fluid, enables it to create agitation that is disturbing the film layer on the surface and creating turbulence on the heat transfer surface. We have noticed, when it is in the pipe, you can clearly see, it is behaving almost like a refrigerant you will see a that Hydromx® agitating the fluid movement and it is very important to see that one phase going up and one phase going down and that enables Hydromx® to transfer heat much better.”
“We did perform an experiment whereby the Hydromx® heat transfer capability was examined in relation to water by placing the one side of two tubes (one with water and one with Hydromx®) in 60°C. We did observe that within 10 min, the other side of water reached 34°C while the other side of Hydromx® reached 55°C Although the comparison of the measurements themselves of the thermal conductivity and viscosity of water with Hydromx®, do not justify this temperature difference, we do believe that this difference is attributed to the presence of nanoparticles in Hydromx®. Nanoparticles, upon turbulence, provide an alternative enhanced way of heat transfer that is much higher than that of water.” (Prof. Marc Assael, Aristotle university of Thessaloniki, Faculty of chemical engineering, 2013)
