Process Cooling Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs process cooling within combination fuelled plant, including Yazaki absorption chilling using heat as the power source for industrial processes.
Process Cooling Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's cooling capability for industrial processes. BSH has been providing Yazaki absorption chilling technologies for decades — chillers that 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.
Process cooling covers the plant that removes heat from an industrial process, whether electric chillers, absorption chillers driven by recovered heat, or a combination. Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, the process cooling is specified alongside the heat sources that can drive it rather than as a standalone package.
Where process heat or on-site generation provides a recoverable heat source, absorption chilling turns that waste heat into process cooling — the trigeneration route. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, which combined power, heat and cooling through integrated heat recovery.
Heat-driven process cooling
Yazaki absorption chilling primarily utilises heat as its main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric. Where a process heat stream or on-site generation provides recoverable heat, absorption chilling turns that waste heat into process cooling. BSH has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions.
Integrated within combination systems
Because BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, the process cooling is specified against the available heat sources and the process cooling loads together. Where the chiller is heat-driven, the recovered heat from CHP or process becomes the cooling input.
Trigeneration for process
Where on-site generation produces electricity and the process or building needs cooling, the recovered heat can drive absorption chilling — producing power, heat and cooling from one fuel input. BSH designed and built the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, demonstrating that integration at scale.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Process cooling specified as a standalone electric chiller package can end up buying electricity for compression cooling while recoverable process heat or generation heat is rejected to atmosphere. Where the process cooling is procured separately from the heat sources that could drive absorption chilling, the low-carbon cooling that heat recovery enables is lost.
Reaction
Uncoordinated process cooling raises running cost and carbon emissions and forfeits the efficiency available from heat-driven chilling. Industrial operators and process engineers need a partner who designs the process cooling within the combination fuelled plant and matches the cooling to the available heat sources.
Solution
BSH designs process cooling within combination fuelled plant, including Yazaki absorption chilling using heat as the power source, with the trigeneration route combining power, heat and cooling. Because the right process cooling depends on your heat sources and cooling loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers.
