Further to the RNS of 27th January 2022, High Tech Systems Ltd issued a press release update last week - following testing, it appears that the radiator fluid would reduce heating bills by c.30%.
They talk of being close to getting it into trial homes but offer no definite timescale. Hopefully trials will be completed and verified by the autumn and the next utility price hike.
One would imagine that the fluid will be popular once ready for mass roll out. With average annual bills going north of £3k, a £900 saving for an initial outlay will seem worth it to most.
"New Energy Saving Heating Product Aims High at Futurebuild ‘22
Stourbridge UK, 20th April, 2022:
A new product for the heating market was launched by High Tech Systems at Futurebuild in London last month to a captive audience interested in energy and carbon saving technologies.
Hi-Therm ® was given a hero’s welcome by show visitors thanks to its potential to reduce customers’ energy usage and carbon emissions by 30%.
Hi-Therm ® has been formulated to combat energy and carbon emissions in the UK’s hydronic heating sector and beyond by substituting commonly used water in radiators. The patented thermal fluid uses nanotechnology to enhance the thermodynamic properties of water.
Hi-Therm ® is subcontract manufactured by Haydale Graphene Industries using its patented plasma functionalisation process. Hi-Therm can be installed into any hydronic heating system with minimal disruption and does not require any adaptation of the heating system.
With almost 400 people visiting the stand across the three-day show, High Tech Systems’ CEO Vince Rice said:
“We believe we have developed a game-changing product and to see the enormous interest at the show has just quantified that for us.
“As we work through interest shown from the Futurebuild show, we can see the potential applications of the product beyond just the domestic and commercial heating market, but right now we are laser focused on getting our product into the fuel poverty market to assist those who really need it to reduce energy usage and therefore reduce household bills.”
Unlike water, which holds the same thermal conductivity regardless of temperature, Hi-Therm’s thermal capability increases with temperature. The product has been independently tested by several third parties including a leading university in the field of thermodynamics and the National Gas Centre for Excellence (NGCFE).
At the NGCFE, a test environment was set up with two identical 4KW heating systems, one with water and the other with Hi-Therm®, and 30% less energy was used with Hi-Therm® during several days of continuous testing.
This is supported by an independent evaluation undertaken in a university test facility specialising in thermodynamics. The simulation was based on heating a single bedroom in a domestic home for a period of one month. The tests showed a reduction in energy usage over the period of more than 30%.

The exciting innovation aims to transform the industry. The product is currently in an advanced stage of achieving SAP inclusion (Standard Assessment Procedure) from the Building Research Establishment (BRE), which would provide an energy performance rating uplift (for use in EPC ratings in buildings). If independent test results are anything to go by, Hi-Therm® could potentially surpass all current energy saving products rated by BRE to date.
Vince continued:
“The next stage for us is achieving SAP and to put Hi-Therm® into trial homes in the UK. Our goal is to have Hi-Therm® available to the fuel poverty market, which is estimated now to be some five million homes. We are talking to very senior people within the UK Government to help bring the benefits of Hi-Therm® to this market as soon as physically possible. We have the capabilities to get this into every single home in the UK with a hydronic heating system, which are systems with gas boilers or heat pumps, as a very cost-effective method of reducing both energy usage and carbon emissions.”
With the UK’s Government bold commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, Hi-Therm® could potentially provide a solution to significantly cutting carbon emissions from domestic heating, which according to the Committee on Climate Change accounts for 32% of all carbon emissions in the UK.
Current initiatives promote the installation of heat pumps, but the solution cannot be installed in every home. Hi-Therm® could.
Hi-Therm® is a new and innovative product to the heating market that could potentially align with many people’s mission towards carbon reduction and net zero. It can be installed into any building that has radiators and it can offer energy savings at a fraction of the carbon footprint, capital costs and time of current measures and provides the dweller with significant energy usage savings.
