Project description DEENESFRITPL Next-gen silicon for more efficient heating Flexible heating systems are used in applications ranging from the heating of industrial-sized liquid tanks to the de-icing of chiller units. However, these silicon-based systems are characterised by non-optimal thermal conductivity and resistive wire elements. Proposing a more flexible and efficient solution, the EU-funded OhmMAT-NANO project has designed a thermally improved and conductive silicon. The advantages of this efficient and flexible material include external heating of irregular surfaces, embedded heating, and heating from inside a uniform or complex-shaped component. The project will open the way for more flexible and efficient heating systems. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Flexible heating systems are used in numerous applications such as the heating of Industrial sized liquid tanks, to de-icing chiller units. However, they are based on silicon with non-optimal thermal conductivity and resistive wire elements. The result is restricted flexibility and low efficiency. OHMVO was a company created to find a solution for the numerous clients frustrated with this solution.We have designed and are patenting a thermally improved and conductive silicon. Highly efficient and flexible, aside from external heating of irregular surfaces, for the first time our product will deliver embedded heating, heating from within a uniform, or complex shaped component.We request phase 1 funding to allow us to complete a prototype demonstration with a potential client and to investigate and select the first applications to target for market entry. With multiple clients already interested and the possibility to drive many new breakthrough applications we are predicting revenues of 16.45M and 32 employees by 2026.
