Kroll Kozy

Our European made Kozy heats workshops and spaces in any size area up to 300m2 or more and uses 3 litres of waste oil per hour on low and 5 litres per hour on high. Your Kozy includes its own powerful blower fan. This means it effectively heats spaces and takes the chill off the air throughout your building. You don’t need to huddle around the heater to get warm, and you don’t have to position it centrally.

You can place it tucked away in the corner or against a wall. See the ‘Kozy’ video below:

Long Life

You can expect your Kozy to have a long trouble-free life. The first Kozys installed back in 1982 are still going strong. Compared to other types of heaters, your Kroll Kozy will pay for itself in just one or two winters. Once you’ve got one, you’ll be happy!

Installation is Easy

The operator’s manual explains the simple guidelines for erecting the stainless steel flue. A ‘T’ piece with embedded regulator is supplied. You can find the T piece at the lower end of the flue locally ‘off the shelf’, or we are happy to supply everything you need. It typically consists of about 5 metres of flue, with a hat on top.

Maintenance

The Kozy is not “high tech”. To start it, you pour a cup of kero or diesel into the cast iron pan at the bottom of the Kozy, light a scrunched-up A4 paper sheet into a ball, light it, and drop it onto the pan. After about ten minutes, an internal thermostat automatically starts the oil pump and the blower fan. The system trickles waste oil into the hot pan, where it vapourises into a gas and burns very cleanly. When you burn waste oil in a Kroll, you see no smoke or fumes. The emissions remain very clean and have been tested by an EPA approved company, well within EPA requirements. The contaminants in waste oil, such as carbon, dirt, and detergents, break down in the 750o C temperature of the furnace, to a dry crusty ash, which accumulates in the cast iron pan and needs removal each day.

Your Kozy includes two pans. At start-up, use the clean one. At a convenient time, clean yesterday’s pan, ready for tomorrow’s use. The amount of ash you get depends on the nature of the oil; for example, very thick black oil from old diesel engines leaves more ash, while transmission oils leave almost none. A bit of water in the oil doesn’t worry your Kozy at all. Most commonly, oil from petrol engine vehicles or a combination of waste oils generates lots of heat and minimal ash. You’ll spend about ten minutes a day looking after your Kroll Kozy.

Wouldn’t you agree, it’s a small inconvenience to pay for the advantage of heating with free fuel?
