Industrial Cooling Equipment Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited specifies and installs industrial cooling equipment using Yazaki absorption chilling that primarily utilises heat as its main power source, integrated with heating and combined heat and power through plantrooms.
Industrial Cooling Equipment Belfast reflects BSH Limited's specification of cooling equipment for industrial processes and buildings. BSH has been providing Yazaki Absorption chilling technologies for decades, and these chillers primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air-conditioning equipment which use electric — making them a key provider of low-carbon chilling for buildings or processes.
Industrial cooling equipment covers the chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers and distribution that remove heat from a process or a space. Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling and combined heat and power, the cooling equipment is specified against the real cooling load and against the recovered heat that could drive it, rather than as a standalone electric chiller install.
Where a process has a simultaneous heating and cooling demand, the same combination fuelled system can use recovered heat to drive absorption chilling for the cooling load, extending the heating and power plant into trigeneration — combined cooling, heat and power from one fuel source.
Absorption chilling driven by heat
Yazaki absorption chilling primarily utilises heat as its main power source, so the industrial cooling equipment can be driven by recovered heat from on-site generation or process rather than by electricity alone. Over the years BSH has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions, all demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions. That heat-driven approach is what makes absorption chilling a low-carbon cooling option for industrial processes.
Specified against the real cooling load
Industrial cooling equipment is specified against the actual process or building cooling load — its temperature, duty and profile — so the chiller, cooling tower or heat exchanger is matched to the demand rather than oversized or undersized for it. Because the cooling is part of a combination fuelled system, the equipment is coordinated with the heating and on-site generation rather than procured as a separate electrical load.
Integrated with heating and CHP
Where combined heat and power or heat recovery is present, the recovered heat can drive the absorption chiller, so the cooling equipment is integrated with the generation rather than running alongside it. BSH holds the accolade for the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, designed and built for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, reflecting the depth of that integrated cooling approach.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Industrial cooling procured as a standalone electric chiller load adds to a site's electrical demand and ignores the recovered heat that could drive it, while cooling equipment specified without reference to the real process load ends up oversized, undersized or running against the wrong temperature. Where the cooling is split from the heating and generation, the trigeneration opportunity is lost at the interface.
Reaction
Electric-only industrial cooling raises cost and carbon, and uncoordinated cooling equipment can leave a process over- or under-supplied. Industrial operators and consultants need an engineering partner who specifies the cooling equipment alongside the heating and on-site generation so the whole combination fuelled system serves the process efficiently.
Solution
BSH specifies and installs industrial cooling equipment using Yazaki absorption chilling driven by recovered heat, integrated with heating and combined heat and power through plantrooms. Because the right cooling depends on your process loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your industrial cooling equipment project.
