Waste Heat Recovery Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited recovers waste heat from CHP and process to drive heating, hot water and Yazaki absorption cooling within combination fuelled plantrooms.
Waste Heat Recovery Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's approach to capturing heat that would otherwise be rejected. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and waste-heat recovery is what turns rejected heat into useful heating, hot water or cooling.
Recovering waste heat — from a CHP engine's jacket and exhaust, from process streams, or from cooling returns — reduces the fuel and electricity the building would otherwise use. BSH integrates the recovery with the wider combination system through shared controls, so recovered heat is used where it is most valuable rather than rejected.
Where recovered heat is available, BSH can drive Yazaki absorption chilling — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric — so waste heat becomes useful cooling within one combination system.
Recovery within combination systems
Waste-heat recovery is specified as part of combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Heat exchangers recover the heat and the control system sequences its use — for heating, hot water or absorption cooling — so recovered energy is used where it is most valuable.
Recovered heat driving absorption cooling
Where on-site heat is available — from CHP or recovered waste heat — Yazaki absorption chilling, which primarily utilises heat as its main power source, produces useful cooling. BSH has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions, and holds the accolade for the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012.
Trigeneration from recovered heat
Combining on-site power, recovered heat and absorption cooling is trigeneration — power, heat and cooling from one plant. BSH's trigeneration record, including the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012 designed and built for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, shows the scale at which waste-heat recovery has been delivered.

How BSH can help
Problem
Rejecting waste heat from CHP, process or cooling returns — through stacks, drains or atmosphere — wastes energy and raises the fuel and electricity the building has to buy. Where recovery is added piecemeal rather than as part of an integrated system, the recovered heat is not sequenced against the loads, and the heat-driven cooling option is missed entirely.
Reaction
Unrecovered waste heat raises running costs and carbon emissions, and forgoes the cooling available from heat-driven absorption chilling. Building owners and consultants need a specialist who recovers the heat within an integrated combination system rather than as a standalone add-on.
Solution
BSH recovers waste heat within combination fuelled plantrooms, using it to drive heating, hot water and Yazaki absorption cooling — the basis of trigeneration. Because the right recovery depends on your heat sources and loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your waste heat recovery systems project.
