DeHeat
Inclusive Designs works in conjunction with Deheat® under the company name of Inclusive Designs Ltd. We are based on The Wirral in Merseyside as well as having a desk at the Campus Technology Hub (CTH), Sci-Tech, Daresbury Laboratories. Our areas of interest are innovation through science, technology and design, also solid-state cooling using 2 dimensional materials such as Graphene etc.
We are an early-stage company innovating novel solid-state cooling materials. The company is developing graphene-doped metamaterials with applications in CPU/GPU cooling, electric vehicle battery cooling, LEDs, photovoltaics and cooling methodologies for hardware associated with blockchain technologies.
The company is founded upon innovation - We are developing a potential game-changing technology which can provide thermal management solutions across multiple sectors, whilst simultaneously providing power via the thermoelectric effect.
We are utilising state-of-the-art additive manufacturing solutions to create novel metamaterial structures with unique thermal properties. The company has recently been successful in the Innovate UK competition 'Emerging and Enabling Technologies', and are midway through the project. In March 2018 our company was selected to visit South Korea under the Global Business Accelerator programme.
