OUR JOURNEY
Collaborating to accelerate innovation and impact
OUR JOURNEY
From a University Lab to Industry Innovation
At DThermals, we believe that strategic partnerships are essential to solving complex energy challenges. We work with organisations that share our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
Our partners include industrial manufacturers, OEMs, research institutions, and clean tech innovators. We offer co-development opportunities, technology licensing, and integration support for businesses seeking to embed advanced heat transfer capabilities into their products and operations.
OUR JOURNEY
2022
City University Research Team
Spun out from City University’s pioneering research group, Dynamic Thermal Systems was established at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. This marked the foundation of our company – transforming academic research into practical thermal management solutions ready for industry adoption.
2023
Royal Academy of Engineering
Received support from the Royal Academy of Engineering and expanded operations to larger premises in Oxford. This move enabled us to grow our team, enhance our laboratory facilities, and accelerate development of our next-generation heat transfer systems.
2024
STFC Harwell Living Lab Project
Selected for the STFC Harwell Living Lab Project, developing and testing an outdoor heat pump system designed for real-world performance monitoring. We also participated in the ICURe Explore programme to validate market potential for our technology. This year marked a crucial transition from concept validation to field deployment – demonstrating our solutions in practical, scalable environments.
2025
Innovate UK & TRIG Projects
Secured Innovate UK ICURe follow-on funding and launched the TRIG Project (Transforming Road Transport Innovation Grant). With this support, we’re focusing on large-scale trials, strategic partnerships, and commercialising Dynamic Thermal Systems’ technology to deliver measurable carbon reductions across the energy and transport sectors.
