Industrial Process Cooling Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited engineers industrial process cooling using Yazaki absorption chilling that primarily utilises heat as its main power source, integrated with process heating, combined heat and power and controls.
Industrial Process Cooling Belfast reflects BSH Limited's engineering of the cooling that serves an industrial process load. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and process cooling is the industrial end of that integrated approach — the cooling that serves a process rather than a space.
Process cooling covers the chilled water, glycol or direct-expansion systems that hold a process at temperature. Because BSH designs the cooling alongside heating, combined heat and power and controls, the process cooling is specified against the actual process load and against the recovered heat that could drive it through absorption chilling.
Where a process has a simultaneous heating and cooling demand, the same combination fuelled system can use recovered heat to drive absorption chilling for the process cooling, extending the heating and power plant into trigeneration — combined cooling, heat and power from one fuel source serving the process loads.
Process cooling within a combination fuelled system
BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Within that, process cooling is specified against the real process load — its temperature, duty and profile — so the chiller, distribution and controls are matched to the process rather than oversized or undersized for it.
Absorption chilling driven by recovered heat
Yazaki absorption chilling primarily utilises heat as its main power source, so where a process has on-site generation or heat recovery, the recovered heat can drive the process cooling rather than the cooling adding to the site's electrical demand. That heat-driven approach is what makes absorption chilling a low-carbon process-cooling option, and it is what turns the recovered heat into useful cooling rather than venting it.
Cooling alongside process heating
Where a process needs both heat and cooling, the process heating and process cooling are engineered as one combination fuelled system rather than as separate loads. BSH holds the accolade for the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, designed and built for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland — reflecting the depth of that integrated heating, power and cooling approach.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Process cooling specified as a standalone electric chiller load adds to a site's electrical demand and ignores the recovered heat that could drive it, while cooling sized without reference to the real process load ends up running against the wrong temperature or duty. Where the cooling is split from the heating and on-site generation, the trigeneration opportunity is lost at the interface.
Reaction
Electric-only process cooling raises cost and carbon, and uncoordinated cooling can leave a process over- or under-supplied. Industrial operators and consultants need an engineering partner who engineers the process cooling alongside the heating and generation so the whole combination fuelled system serves the process efficiently.
Solution
BSH engineers industrial process cooling using Yazaki absorption chilling driven by recovered heat, integrated with process heating, combined heat and power and controls through plantrooms. Because the right process cooling depends on your process loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your industrial process cooling project.
