Haydale and City Energy Develop Graphene UFH with Plumbase

 

Haydale, the global technology solutions company, is delighted to announce it
is working with City Energy Network Limited ("City Energy") and Plumbase
Limited ("Plumbase") on developing and distributing its graphene underfloor
heating ("UFH").

 

The proven ink heater technology applied to clothing worn by British athletes
at the Tokyo Games has been applied in an initial prototype for domestic UFH
with the potential to replace gas central heating and link into other energy
efficient technologies.

 

The development, which is being supported by City Energy, will produce a
further prototype that will lead towards a market-ready CE product that can be
tested in a home environment. When fully certified, Plumbase, the UK's largest
local plumbing supplier, intends to distribute the product through their
nationwide branches with installation through City Energy's installer network.

 

With the UK commitment to reducing emissions to net zero by 2050 and the
likely ban on domestic gas boilers in new homes in two years' time, graphene
UFH offers an energy efficient way to heat our homes.

 

The UFH panels generate heat using Haydale's printed functionalised graphene
ink at low power (12v battery). The heaters can be printed into different
shapes and sizes, are easy to install and are compatible with all modern
construction materials.

 

Unlike infra-red and wired heating systems, Haydale's graphene UFH system is
designed to be a convector heater, which heats the air and room through
thermal convection rather than the body in the case of infrared heaters.

 

Commenting on the project, Haydale CEO Keith Broadbent said: "Haydale has been
working closely with City Energy to look at new technologies aimed at net
zero. I am pleased we can now announce that together we are taking our
graphene underfloor heating to the next stage and with Plumbase supporting
there is a potential to distribute the technology when it is market ready as
an energy efficient heating solution for domestic and commercial properties."

 

Commenting jointly on the exciting project, City Energy National Business
Director and Haydale Non-Executive Director Ryan Howard, and Plumbase Sales
Development Director Danny Taylor added: "We're very pleased to be supporting
such an important and exciting project in times when energy prices are so
high. Our decision to develop the product further and bring in our partners
to take it into the property sector was an easy one given our current aim is
to reduce energy bills for those in fuel poverty and significantly help those
in need."
