Energy Recovery Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited integrates energy recovery within combination fuelled systems, capturing waste heat and putting it to useful work as heating, domestic hot water or absorption chilling.
Energy Recovery Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's approach to capturing energy that would otherwise be wasted and putting it to useful work. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems as required.
Energy recovery covers the capture of waste heat from on-site generation, processes or exhaust streams, and its return to the building as heating, domestic hot water or, through absorption chilling, cooling. In BSH's combination fuelled systems, recovered energy is specified as part of the integrated system rather than as a separate add-on.
Where on-site power generation is present, recovering its waste heat is what turns combined heat and power into trigeneration — producing electricity, heat and cooling from one fuel input. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
Recovering energy within combination systems
BSH can design combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Energy recovery is specified as part of that integrated system, so waste heat feeds heating, domestic hot water or absorption chilling rather than being rejected to atmosphere.
From CHP to trigeneration
Where recovered heat drives an absorption chiller to produce cooling, a combined heat and power system becomes trigeneration — electricity, heat and cooling from one fuel input. BSH holds the accolade for the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, designed and built for Tesco in Naas.
Absorption chilling driven by recovered heat
Recovered heat can drive Yazaki absorption chilling — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric. BSH has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions.

How BSH can help
Problem
On sites with on-site generation or high-temperature processes, waste heat is often rejected to atmosphere rather than captured, wasting the energy content and raising fuel consumption and cost. Where energy recovery is considered in isolation rather than as part of a combination fuelled system, the opportunity to turn recovered heat into cooling through trigeneration is missed.
Reaction
Rejecting waste energy raises running cost and carbon emissions, and forgoes the efficiency available from combined heat and power and trigeneration. Building owners and consultants need a partner who designs energy recovery as part of the combination fuelled system rather than as a separate add-on.
Solution
BSH integrates energy recovery within combination fuelled systems, from combined heat and power to trigeneration with absorption chilling. Because the right energy-recovery configuration depends on your loads and generation, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers.
