Thermal Energy Storage Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited integrates thermal energy storage with heating and cooling within combination fuelled plantrooms, with the Atmos range supported by Copper Industries thermal storage.
Thermal Energy Storage Belfast reflects BSH Limited's integrated approach to storing heat and cooling. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and thermal storage lets the plantroom store energy when it is available for use when it is needed.
Thermal storage helps match generation and demand — for example running a CHP or chiller when it suits the building, and storing the heat or cooling for later use. This is particularly valuable where loads vary through the day or where on-site generation is involved.
BSH's thermal storage capability is supported by its Atmos relationship: the Atmos range is supported by SFL flue systems and Copper Industries thermal storage, so storage is specified alongside genuine heating equipment.
Storing heat and cooling
Thermal energy storage stores heat or cooling — typically in water tanks or phase-change materials — so the plantroom can generate energy when it suits the building and use it when it is needed. This decouples generation from demand and lets smaller plant meet variable loads.
Matching CHP and cooling to demand
Where a combination fuelled system includes CHP or absorption chilling, thermal storage lets those units run efficiently against stored thermal demand rather than short-cycling against instantaneous loads. This improves the part-load performance of the plantroom.
Supported by Copper Industries
BSH's thermal storage is supported by its Atmos relationship — the Atmos range is supported by SFL flue systems and Copper Industries thermal storage — so storage is specified alongside genuine heating equipment rather than as a generic add-on.

How BSH can help
Problem
When heating, cooling or on-site generation is sized to meet instantaneous peaks, the plant runs inefficiently at part load for much of the time, short-cycling against variable demand. Without storage, the building cannot shift generation to when it is efficient and use the energy when it is needed.
Reaction
Plant sized only for peaks runs inefficiently, raises running costs and reduces the benefit of CHP or absorption chilling. Facilities managers and consultants need a specialist who integrates thermal storage into a combination fuelled system so generation and demand are matched.
Solution
BSH integrates thermal energy storage with heating and cooling within combination fuelled plantrooms, supported by its Copper Industries relationship. Because the right storage depends on your loads and generation, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your thermal energy storage project.
