CHP Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs and installs combined heat and power (CHP) systems, often delivered through pre-packaged energy plantrooms, integrating heat, cooling and power for commercial and industrial buildings.
CHP Systems Belfast is a key part of BSH Limited's energy engineering capability. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems as required, with combined heat and power (CHP) a central element of that integrated approach.
A CHP system generates electricity and captures the heat that would otherwise be wasted, putting it to use for space heating, domestic hot water or process loads. BSH's CHP work is frequently delivered through pre-packaged energy plantrooms, which provide a plug-and-power solution for essential building services including heating and cooling.
BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, reflecting its depth of experience in combined heat and power and the extension of CHP into cooling (trigeneration) for commercial and industrial clients.
Combined heat and power by BSH
Combined heat and power (CHP) simultaneously generates electricity and useful heat from the same energy source, improving overall efficiency compared with generating electricity and heat separately. BSH designs CHP as part of combination fuelled systems that can also include cooling, domestic services and controls, so the CHP unit is integrated with the building's wider services rather than installed in isolation.
CHP delivered through plantrooms
BSH's pre-packaged energy plantrooms offer a plug-and-power solution for essential building services including heating and cooling, and CHP can be incorporated within a modular plantroom. Plantrooms are built off-site in a controlled environment, with modular build for transport by road, reducing on-site downtime and allowing rapid hook-up and commissioning once on site.
Trigeneration
Where cooling is also required, CHP can be extended into trigeneration — combined cooling, heat and power — by using the captured heat to drive absorption chilling. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, and BSH has documented experience of large-scale trigeneration, including the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, designed and built for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Commercial and industrial buildings that buy electricity and generate heat separately waste the heat released during power generation, and often pay high energy costs as a result. Designing a CHP system that genuinely matches the building's simultaneous heat and power profile — and integrating it with cooling where needed — is a specialist engineering task.
Reaction
A CHP system sized or integrated poorly can run inefficiently, fail to deliver the expected savings, or conflict with the building's heating and cooling controls. Facilities managers and consultants need an engineering partner who can design CHP as part of a combination fuelled system, assess the heat-to-power ratio, and integrate trigeneration where cooling is also required.
Solution
BSH designs combined heat and power systems as part of combination fuelled systems, often delivered through pre-packaged plantrooms, with trigeneration where cooling is needed. Because the right CHP approach depends on your load profile and building, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your CHP systems project.
