Industrial Refrigeration Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs industrial refrigeration and process cooling within combination fuelled systems, including Yazaki heat-driven absorption chilling for low-carbon cooling.
Industrial Refrigeration Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's cooling capability for industrial and process loads. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, so industrial refrigeration is specified as part of the integrated cooling and thermal system rather than as a standalone cold plant.
BSH has supplied Yazaki absorption chilling for decades — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric — and has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions. For industrial process cooling with a recoverable heat source, absorption chilling offers a low-carbon route that uses heat rather than electric compression.
Where the refrigeration load is part of a combination fuelled system with on-site generation, the waste heat from the generation can drive the absorption chiller, turning what would be rejected heat into process cooling. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, which combined power, heat and cooling in one integrated plant.
Process cooling within combination systems
BSH can design combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Industrial refrigeration is specified as part of that integrated system, so the cooling load is matched to the available cooling technology — conventional compression, absorption chilling, or a combination — and to the site's heat and power rather than in isolation.
Heat-driven absorption chilling
Where a recoverable heat source is available, Yazaki absorption chilling provides process 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.
Recovering heat into cooling
Where the refrigeration load is part of a combination fuelled system with on-site generation, the waste heat from the generation can drive the absorption chiller. This is the trigeneration route — electricity, heat and cooling from one fuel input — and BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Industrial refrigeration designed as a standalone electric chiller plant can ignore the recoverable heat available on site, buying electricity for compression cooling while heat from generation or process is rejected to atmosphere. Where the refrigeration is specified separately from the heating, power and controls, the opportunity to drive cooling from waste heat through absorption chilling is missed.
Reaction
Standalone industrial refrigeration raises electricity cost and carbon emissions and forfeits the efficiency available from heat-driven cooling. Industrial operators and consultants need an engineering partner who designs the refrigeration within the combination fuelled system and assesses whether absorption chilling can use the site's recoverable heat.
Solution
BSH designs industrial refrigeration and process cooling within combination fuelled systems, including Yazaki heat-driven absorption chilling that can recover waste heat into process cooling. Because the right refrigeration arrangement depends on your loads and heat sources, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers.
