HOW LONG HAS HYDROMX BEEN ON THE MARKET? June 30, 2022 By Over 15 years. After three years of development, Hydromx was first installed in 2008 at a NATO airbase in the mountains of Turkey to enhance the performance of a hangar heating system. The 2500-gallon installation was completed in one day and resulted in 35% energy savings with a less than two-year ROI. India was one of the first big markets for Hydromx. Over 100 installations of Hydromx have produced between 20-35% energy savings in cooling, heating, and process applications. The first installation in the United States was in 2015 in the server rooms of the HBO broadcast center in Hauppauge, New York. The building experienced 27% energy savings and 90% more free-cooling hours. The 65,000 kWh annual savings resulted in a one-year ROI. Among its numerous case studies, Hydromx is the only approved heat transfer fluid in the Empire State Building in Manhattan. It is currently running in multiple loops throughout the building and is under consideration to be installed in all Empire State Buildings loops by 2024.
HOW DOES HYDROMX VERIFY IT IS NON-TOXIC? June 30, 2022 By Hydromx is certified nontoxic by FDA regulations. Both Hydromx’s ethylene and propylene versions carry the highest available safety rating from NSF for toxicity. Hydromx-EG (ethylene) carries an NSF HT-2 rating.
