Commercial Refrigeration Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs commercial refrigeration and cooling within combination fuelled systems, including Yazaki heat-driven absorption chilling, supported by over 50 years of heating and cooling experience.
Commercial Refrigeration Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's cooling capability for commercial buildings. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, so commercial 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 commercial cooling with a recoverable heat source, absorption chilling offers a low-carbon route.
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.
Commercial cooling within combination systems
BSH can design combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. Commercial 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.
Heat-driven absorption chilling
Where a recoverable heat source is available, Yazaki absorption chilling provides commercial 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 — the trigeneration route, producing electricity, heat and cooling from one fuel input. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Commercial 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. 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 commercial refrigeration raises electricity cost and carbon emissions and forfeits the efficiency available from heat-driven cooling. Commercial building owners 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 commercial refrigeration and cooling within combination fuelled systems, including Yazaki heat-driven absorption chilling that can recover waste heat into commercial 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.
