Chiller Engineering Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited engineers commercial and industrial cooling using Yazaki absorption chilling that primarily utilises heat as its main power source, integrated with heating and combined heat and power through plantrooms.
Chiller Engineering Belfast reflects BSH Limited's cooling engineering across commercial and industrial buildings. BSH has been providing Yazaki absorption chilling technologies for decades — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air-conditioning equipment which uses electric — which makes them a key provider of low-carbon chilling for buildings or processes.
Absorption chilling turns recovered heat into cooling, so the chiller engineering is integrated with the heating and power side of the plant rather than treated as a separate electrical load. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and absorption chilling is where the recovered heat from CHP or process becomes useful cooling.
Over the years BSH has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions, all demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions — reflecting the depth behind the cooling engineering rather than a generic chiller install.
Absorption chilling using recovered heat
Yazaki absorption chillers primarily utilise heat as their main power source, rather than electricity as most air-conditioning equipment does. That means the cooling is driven by recovered heat from CHP, from a process, or from a boiler — so chiller engineering on a BSH project is specified alongside the heating and power plant rather than as a standalone electrical cooling load.
Integration with CHP and trigeneration
Where combined heat and power is present, the recovered heat can drive absorption chilling to provide cooling, extending CHP into trigeneration — combined cooling, heat and power from one fuel source. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, and that integrated cooling is where the recovered heat from generation becomes useful in summer or for a process load.
Low-carbon cooling for buildings and processes
Because absorption chilling uses heat rather than electricity to drive the cooling, it is a key provider of low-carbon chilling for buildings or processes. BSH's award-winning absorption chilling designs have all been demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions, reflecting cooling engineering specified against the building's heat and cooling loads rather than as an off-the-shelf chiller.

How BSH can help
Problem
Cooling specified as a standalone electrical load — an electric chiller added without reference to the heat available on site — wastes the opportunity to use recovered heat, adds to the building's peak electrical demand, and leaves the cooling and heating sides of the plant competing rather than cooperating. Where the chiller is procured separately from the CHP and heating, the trigeneration opportunity is lost at the interface.
Reaction
Split cooling and heating scopes raise cost, peak electrical demand and carbon, and waste the recovered heat that absorption chilling could have turned into cooling. Building owners and consultants need a partner who engineers the cooling alongside the heating and power so the recovered heat is used rather than vented.
Solution
BSH engineers commercial and industrial cooling using Yazaki absorption chilling driven by recovered heat, integrated with heating and CHP through combination fuelled plantrooms. Because the right cooling depends on your heat and cooling loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your chiller engineering project.
