Central Cooling Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited specifies central cooling for combination fuelled systems, from Yazaki absorption chilling to integrated cooling plant within plantrooms.
Central Cooling Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's approach to cooling a building from a central plant rather than from multiple local units. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems as required.
A central cooling system consolidates cooling generation in one plant location, distributing cooling to the building through pipework and air handling. This suits buildings where coordinated cooling, heat recovery and on-site generation can be combined within one plantroom.
Where low-carbon cooling is the goal, BSH supplies Yazaki absorption chilling — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric — a key provider of low-carbon chilling for buildings or processes.
Central cooling within combination systems
BSH can design combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Central cooling is specified as part of that integrated system, so the cooling plant coordinates with heating and on-site power rather than running independently.
Absorption chilling for low-carbon cooling
For low-carbon central cooling, BSH supplies Yazaki absorption chillers, which 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.
Delivered through plantrooms
Central cooling plant is often housed within a pre-packaged plantroom assembled off-site. Pre-erection of modular systems in a controlled environment makes construction rapid, minimising downtime and reducing costs through quick hook-up and commissioning.

How BSH can help
Problem
Cooling a building with many local units rather than a central system fragments control, misses heat-recovery and on-site-generation opportunities, and raises maintenance overhead. Where cooling is treated as an afterthought to the heating and power plant, the low-carbon options that depend on integration — such as absorption chilling driven by waste heat — are simply not available.
Reaction
Fragmented cooling raises electricity demand and running cost, and forgoes the carbon savings available from heat-driven absorption cooling. Building owners and consultants need central cooling designed as part of the building's wider plant, not procured separately.
Solution
BSH specifies central cooling for combination fuelled systems, from Yazaki absorption chilling to integrated cooling plant within plantrooms. Because the right central cooling configuration depends on your loads and available heat, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers.
