Haydale Delivers LPHW Prototype for Cadent

 

Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global technology solutions company, has
successfully delivered stage one and two of the three-stage low-power hot
water project with Cadent Gas Ltd ('Cadent') announced in February 2022.

 

After completing stage one to identify up to four specific and detailed user
case scenarios, where the graphene ink-based heaters could be used across
Cadent's network, the latest stage of the project has developed an operational
pre-product prototype.

 

The intended use for the water heater is to provide a low-power way to heat
water to an optimum temperature for hygiene when there is an interruption to
the gas supply. Currently, the provision of fan heaters, hot plates and large
kettles to customers in a vulnerable situation without a gas supply can be
expensive and challenging, particularly for elderly or disabled customers.

 

The prototype features Haydale's functionalised graphene ink, printed onto
flexible heater sheets, which are encased within an insulated 3D printed
portable unit. It can heat up to five litres of water in situ placed on a
kitchen draining board or surface. Power is delivered through a rechargeable
battery.

 

The final stage of the project will now further develop the prototype to
refine the modelling and design, alongside validating its use in an
operational environment including the extension of the design to work in a
bathroom/shower setting too. If successful, the potential is to take the
project through further stages towards a market-ready product.

 

Commenting on the latest stage of the project and the prototype development
Mark Pritchard, Cadent's Innovation Specialist, said:

 

"It has been great to see the early prototype as a visible product. This goes
to show that all the hard work and innovative thinking to date has been
worthwhile. Whilst the prototype is not the finished article, we feel that
with the support of Haydale, we are on the right path of helping to deliver a
product that will bring benefit to our customers who find themselves in a
vulnerable situation."

 

Haydale UK Sales Executive Emerson Whitworth added:

 

"We are looking forward to stage three of the water heater development. The
chance to refine an already fantastically designed product, will give us
further scope to add customer friendly features to aid the customer base that
Cadent is looking to support with this unit."
