Thermofluidics aspires to be one of the world's most innovative
High Tech businesses offering an exciting new range of pumping technologies
to Consumers, NGOs
and Businesses that is both cost
effective and environmentally sustainable.
Our world class expertise lies with "Thermofluidic-Oscillators"
- devices that use heat to generate fluid motion with no, or very few moving
parts, making them cheap to operate and easy to maintain.
Our core technology is a device known as a
Non-Inertive-Feedback Thermofluidic Engine (NIFTE), the result of 10 years
of Research and Development in the Universities of Cambridge,
Exeter and Oxford.
NIFTE devices can convert low-temperature heat into powerful fluid oscillations
with greater efficiency than any known predecessors, using cheap materials
and production processes. They are particularly well suited to pumping water,
in a wide range of applications where heat
is available as a waste product, or from solar thermal (hot water) collectors.
They are also well suited to applications in which simultaneous heating
and pumping are required.
Agricultural irrigation, smallholder farming and drinking water access projects
are all ideal applications for our technologies. We also have an innovative
Hydraulic Ram technology under development
that is designed to extract water from a depth of 100m in a single step.
We believe our award winning technologies will
play an important role in helping to solve some of the greatest problems
we face during the 21st century. |
