Heat Exchanger Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs heat exchanger and heat-recovery systems within combination fuelled plant, recovering waste heat into heating, domestic hot water or absorption chilling.
Heat Exchanger Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's heat-recovery capability across commercial and industrial plant. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, so heat exchangers are specified as part of the integrated thermal system that recovers and reuses waste heat.
A heat exchanger transfers heat from one medium to another without mixing them — from a CHP jacket or exhaust to heating circuits, from process streams to domestic hot water, or from recovered heat to an absorption chiller for cooling. Because BSH designs the whole combination fuelled system, the heat exchanger is sized and located to make best use of the recoverable heat available on site.
Where recovered heat drives a Yazaki absorption chiller — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric — the heat exchanger becomes the bridge between the heat source and the cooling output. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, which combined power, heat and cooling through integrated heat recovery.
Recovering heat within combination systems
BSH can design combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Heat exchangers are specified within that integrated system, so recovered heat is routed to the load that uses it best — heating, domestic hot water or, through absorption chilling, cooling — rather than being rejected to atmosphere.
Heat-driven absorption chilling
Where a recoverable heat source is available, Yazaki absorption chilling provides cooling using heat as its main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric. BSH has supplied Yazaki absorption chilling for decades and has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions.
Trigeneration through integrated heat recovery
Where the heat exchanger recovers waste heat from on-site generation, the recovered heat can drive heating, hot water or absorption chilling — the trigeneration route, producing electricity, heat and cooling from one fuel input. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Heat exchangers added as an afterthought to recover heat from CHP or process can end up with no load to use the recovered heat, or with a heat exchanger sized for a heat source that is no longer there. Where the heat recovery is specified separately from the heating, cooling and generation it serves, the integration that makes recovery worthwhile is lost at the interface.
Reaction
Unrecovered waste heat raises fuel cost and carbon emissions and forfeits the efficiency available from heat-driven cooling. Commercial and industrial operators need an engineering partner who designs the heat exchanger within the combination fuelled system and matches the recovered heat to a real load.
Solution
BSH designs heat exchanger and heat-recovery systems within combination fuelled plant, recovering waste heat into heating, domestic hot water or Yazaki absorption chilling. Because the right heat-recovery arrangement depends on your heat sources and loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers.
