Kombox Compressor Waste Heat Recovery System
Packaged System Solutions
Waste Heat Recovery System is a packaged system that transfers waste heat from oil heated in a screw compressor to secondary-circuit water through a brazed plate heat exchanger.
What is the Kombox Compressor Waste Heat Recovery System?
The Kombox Compressor Waste Heat Recovery System is a packaged system that transfers waste heat from oil heated in a screw compressor to secondary-circuit water through a brazed plate heat exchanger.
Tanpera KOMBOX series, oil heated in the screw block reaches a 3-way thermostatic valve; above the set temperature it is directed to a brazed plate heat exchanger .
Compressor waste-heat recovery
A proportional control valve on the secondary circuit regulates transferred energy so oil always returns to the compressor at a suitable temperature.
Key Features
- Transfers heat from screw-block oil to secondary water through a brazed plate heat exchanger.
- A 3-way thermostatic valve and proportional control protect oil return temperature.
- Duty coding: process and domestic hot water (P) or comfort heating (K); KOMBOX 75-P/K (example).

Frequently Asked Questions
Kombox is a packaged system that transfers waste heat from oil heated in a screw compressor to secondary water through a brazed plate heat exchanger. Oil passes a 3-way thermostatic valve and is sent to the exchanger when above the set point.
According to the brochure, air compressors reject about 95% of consumed energy as waste heat. At full load, Kombox can convert about 90% of that energy into useful heat. Actual savings depend on the operating profile.
KOMBOX is designed to recover heat from oil heated in the screw block. Sizing follows compressor capacity and the operating profile.
Space near the compressor, oil and water connections, and the secondary use point should be planned. A bypass line may be needed for maintenance and compressor downtime.
Annual inspection of the heat exchanger, valves, and automation is recommended. Follow the maintenance schedule in the user manual.
Compressor model and capacity, operating hours, oil temperatures, and hot-water or heating demand are the key inputs. Tanpera sizes the KOMBOX from a site survey or data form.
