Cogeneration Installation Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited installs cogeneration (CHP) plant integrating on-site generation with heat recovery, delivered through pre-packaged plantrooms for rapid hook-up and commissioning.
Cogeneration Installation Belfast reflects BSH Limited's installed cogeneration capability for commercial and industrial buildings. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and a cogeneration installation is the on-site delivery of generation integrated with the use of its recovered heat.
Where the cogeneration is delivered through a pre-packaged plantroom, the generation, heat recovery, pumps, distribution and controls are assembled and inspected off site before delivery as a plug and power solution. That off-site fabrication reduces on-site downtime and keeps the cogeneration integrated with the wider combination fuelled system, with the largest plug and power plantroom in terms of power at 1.4Mw thermal.
A cogeneration installation only saves energy when its electricity and heat are both useful at once, so the plant is sized against the building's simultaneous heat and power demand rather than for electrical output alone. That sizing is what makes the recovered heat actually used, which is what delivers the efficiency rather than the generator simply running.
Off-site assembly, on-site hook-up
Where the cogeneration is delivered through a pre-packaged plantroom, the generation, heat recovery, pumps, distribution and controls are assembled and inspected off site before delivery as a plug and power solution. That off-site fabrication reduces on-site downtime and supports rapid hook-up and commissioning once on site, with the largest plug and power plantroom in terms of power at 1.4Mw thermal.
Recovered heat used, not wasted
A cogeneration installation only saves energy when its electricity and heat are both useful at once, so the plant is sized against the building's simultaneous heat and power demand rather than for electrical output alone. The recovered heat serves the heating, hot water or process load, and any further recovered heat can drive absorption chilling for a simultaneous cooling demand.
Integrated with the wider system
Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling and combined heat and power, the cogeneration installation is integrated with the building's wider services rather than running as a standalone generator. The plantroom can accommodate multi-fuel systems (gas, hybrid etc), so the cogeneration can sit alongside conventional or future-fuels plant within one package.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
A cogeneration installation delivered as a standalone generator — sized for electrical output without a use for its recovered heat, and installed without integration with the heating and cooling — vents the heat it produces and loses the efficiency the installation was meant to deliver. Where the installation is split from the wider plant, the integration that makes cogeneration worthwhile is lost at the interface.
Reaction
Unintegrated cogeneration installation wastes recovered heat, raises running cost, and can leave a building with a generator that runs inefficiently because it was sized for power alone. Consultants and facilities managers need an engineering partner who installs the cogeneration as part of a combination fuelled system, using the recovered heat for heating or cooling.
Solution
BSH installs cogeneration (CHP) plant integrating on-site generation with heat recovery, delivered through pre-packaged plantrooms. Because the right cogeneration installation depends on your loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your cogeneration installation project.
