Micro CHP Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs and installs micro combined heat and power within combination fuelled plantrooms, integrating on-site generation with heating, cooling and controls for commercial and industrial buildings.
Micro CHP Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's combined heat and power capability at a smaller scale. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and micro CHP brings that integrated approach to buildings where a smaller on-site generation unit is the right fit.
Micro combined heat and power generates electricity on site while capturing the heat produced for space heating, domestic hot water or process loads — the same principle as larger CHP, sized for buildings with a smaller base load. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, reflecting the depth behind that smaller-scale application.
Where a micro CHP unit is delivered through a pre-packaged plantroom, the generation, pumps and controls are assembled and inspected off site before delivery, keeping the unit integrated with the wider combination fuelled system.
On-site generation at smaller scale
Micro CHP applies the combined heat and power principle at a scale suited to buildings with a smaller base electrical and heat load. The unit generates electricity on site and captures the heat produced, so both the power and the heat are used rather than the heat being wasted. BSH sizes the unit against the building's simultaneous heat and power demand rather than as a generic install.
Integrated with heating and cooling
Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling and control systems, a micro CHP unit can be coordinated with the building's other plant rather than running alongside it. The controller sequences the micro CHP against real loads so the generation and recovered heat are actually useful, which is what delivers the efficiency rather than the unit simply running.
Delivered through plantrooms
Where appropriate, a micro CHP unit can be incorporated within a pre-packaged energy plantroom built off-site in a controlled environment. That off-site fabrication reduces on-site downtime and allows rapid hook-up and commissioning once on site, with the generation integrated with the wider plant from the outset.

How BSH can help
Problem
A building with a modest but consistent heat and power demand is often too small for full-scale CHP but still pays for grid electricity and generates heat separately, wasting the heat released during power generation. Specifying on-site generation at the wrong scale — either oversized or absent — misses the efficiency a right-sized unit would deliver.
Reaction
Without a right-sized on-site generation option, smaller commercial buildings carry avoidable energy cost and carbon, or end up with a CHP unit that runs part-loaded because it is too big. Consultants and facilities managers need a partner who can size micro CHP against the real load and integrate it with the building's services.
Solution
BSH designs and installs micro combined heat and power within combination fuelled plantrooms, integrating on-site generation with heating, cooling and controls. Because the right size depends on your load profile, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your micro CHP systems project.
