Thermofluidics aspires to be one of the world's most innovative High Tech businesses offering an exciting new range of pumping technologies to Businesses, NGOs and End Users 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.

 

For the latest video of the NIFTE pump under lab conditions see here and for the first outdoor trials video see here. For the latest video of the Alpha Prototype DAHR Pump see here and for the latest video of the Beta Prototype DAHR Pump see here.

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.
