Combined Heat and Power Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited provides combined heat and power engineering for Belfast and beyond, integrating on-site power generation with heating, cooling and controls for commercial and industrial clients.
Combined Heat and Power Belfast is a core capability within BSH Limited's energy engineering practice. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, with combined heat and power providing efficient on-site generation for commercial and industrial buildings.
Combined heat and power generates electricity and recovers the heat produced for productive use, improving overall efficiency compared with separate generation. BSH integrates the CHP unit with the building's heating, cooling and control systems so the whole package operates coherently.
BSH's combined heat and power work is supported by its off-site fabrication capability, with systems frequently delivered through pre-packaged plantrooms assembled in a controlled environment for rapid, low-disruption installation.
Combined heat and power engineering
BSH engineers combined heat and power as an integrated element of combination fuelled systems. The CHP unit's electrical output and recovered heat are matched to the building's loads and coordinated with heating, cooling, domestic and control systems, so that on-site generation works with the building rather than alongside it.
Integration with heating and cooling
Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating and cooling, combined heat and power can be integrated with absorption chilling to provide cooling using recovered heat — a trigeneration arrangement. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, reflecting this integrated capability.
Delivery through plantrooms
BSH's pre-packaged energy plantrooms provide a plug-and-power solution for essential building services including heating and cooling, and combined heat and power can be incorporated within them. Off-site fabrication and pre-erection reduce on-site downtime and support quick commissioning once on site.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Many commercial and industrial buildings pay for grid electricity and generate heat separately, wasting the heat released during power generation. Implementing combined heat and power effectively requires matching the system to the building's simultaneous heat and power demand and integrating it with existing services.
Reaction
A CHP system that is not matched to the building's load profile can run inefficiently or fail to deliver expected savings, and a system installed without integration can conflict with heating and cooling controls. Consultants and facilities managers benefit from an engineering partner who designs CHP within a combination fuelled system.
Solution
BSH provides combined heat and power engineering, integrating on-site generation with heating, cooling and controls, often through pre-packaged plantrooms. Because the right approach depends on your building and loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your combined heat and power project.
