Combined Heat and Power Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs and installs combined heat and power systems, integrating on-site power generation with heating, cooling and controls for commercial and industrial buildings.
Combined Heat and Power Systems Belfast is central to BSH Limited's integrated energy engineering. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, with combined heat and power providing on-site electricity generation alongside useful heat.
By generating electricity on site and capturing the heat produced, a combined heat and power system can improve overall energy efficiency compared with drawing power from the grid and producing heat separately. BSH integrates CHP with the building's heating, cooling and control systems so they operate as one coordinated package.
BSH's CHP systems are frequently delivered through pre-packaged energy plantrooms, assembled off-site in a controlled environment to reduce on-site downtime and allow rapid commissioning once on site.
Integrated combined heat and power
BSH designs combined heat and power as part of combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, domestic and control systems. This means the CHP unit's electrical output and recovered heat are coordinated with the building's other services, with controls integrated from the outset rather than added after installation.
Off-site fabrication and plantrooms
Where appropriate, BSH delivers combined heat and power through pre-packaged plantrooms built off-site. Pre-erection of modular systems in a controlled environment makes construction rapid, minimising downtime and reducing costs through quick hook-up and commissioning. BSH's processes can shave weeks off modern work programmes.
From CHP to trigeneration
Combined heat and power can be extended to trigeneration by using recovered heat to drive absorption chilling for cooling. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, and BSH has documented large-scale trigeneration experience, including the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012 for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Buildings that generate heat and draw electricity separately waste the heat released during power generation and carry higher energy costs. A combined heat and power system only delivers benefits when it is correctly sized to the building's simultaneous heat and power demand and integrated with the wider building services.
Reaction
An incorrectly sized or poorly integrated CHP system can run part-loaded, fail to recover heat effectively, or conflict with existing heating and cooling controls. Facilities managers and consultants need an engineering partner who can design CHP within a combination fuelled system and assess whether trigeneration is appropriate where cooling is also required.
Solution
BSH designs combined heat and power systems integrated with heating, cooling and controls, often delivered through pre-packaged plantrooms. Because the right system depends on your load profile, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your combined heat and power systems project.
