Precision manufactured OEM parts optimized for advanced air conditioning, refrigeration, and cold chain fluid lines.
Pancake copper coils (seamless copper tubes wound in double layer spiral shape) represent the circulatory architecture of modern HVACR systems. High-precision pancake copper is indispensable due to its outstanding thermal conductivity, unmatched structural reliability, and flexibility in routing. As energy efficiency mandates tighten globally under the Kigali Amendment and localized energy standard regimes, the engineering standards of copper tubing directly define the operational life and efficiency of HVAC assemblies.
Globally, manufacturers are transitioning toward eco-friendly refrigerants such as R32, R410A, and CO2 (R744). These modern refrigerants operate under significantly higher working pressures. As a result, the internal surface morphology, geometric concentricity, and wall thickness tolerance of pancake copper coils have become critical design thresholds. Standard C12200 Phosphorus-Deoxidized Copper (Cu-DHP) must be manufactured with extreme precision to prevent fatigue cracking, micro-leaks, and premature system failures.
Technological evolution, environmental adaptation, and regulatory frameworks governing the manufacturing of pancake copper piping systems.
The push for low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) gases has shifted system design pressures up to 4.15 MPa. China factories are employing advanced cold-drawing methods to produce high-tensile copper tubing that maintains high burst pressures even with reduced nominal wall thicknesses.
Smooth-bore tubes are rapidly giving way to Micro-Grooved or Inner-Grooved designs. Internal helical structures increase the internal surface area and create turbulence within the refrigerant stream, boosting heat transfer performance by up to 30% without adding bulk to the unit footprint.
Residual carbon deposits within the tube must not exceed 0.020 g/m² (conforming to EN 12735-1). Advanced manufacturing incorporates dynamic clean-blowing and nitrogen inerting systems to seal the tube, ensuring no moisture or particulates lead to mechanical lockups of the compressor.

| C10200 (Cu-OF) | ASTM B75, JIS H3300 | 6.00 mm - 19.05 mm | 0.60 mm - 1.20 mm | < 0.015 g/m² | Ultra-clean electronic chillers |
| Copper Alloy Capillary | ASTM B360 | 1.00 mm - 4.00 mm | 0.40 mm - 0.80 mm | < 0.010 g/m² | Precision Expansion Controls |
Tracing our roots back to the Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University in 1988, we have matured into a technology-driven manufacturing enterprise.
Ningbo Taojun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. is strategically located in the industrial development corridor of Xiangshan, Ningbo. Established as the technological spin-off of the Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University, the company has accumulated over 35 years of specialized experience in refrigeration system engineering and copper alloy fabrication.
Our core portfolio includes: copper filter driers, check valves, air conditioning service valves, wire-tube condensers, high-purity copper capillary tubes, U-bends, and specialized copper/brass fittings. Recognized as a national high-tech enterprise, Taojun combines scientific R&D with modern industrial manufacturing. Our commitment to technological innovation and continuous design refinement has made our "Lingshan" brand a synonymous standard for quality in China's domestic HVACR sector.
We boast fully verified ISO 9001:2015, EU RoHS, and US UL certifications. Through our modern manufacturing systems, we guarantee high-precision batch consistency, minimizing defect rates to under 0.05% for global OEMs.
Manufacturing systems custom-engineered to isolate humidity, remove particulates, and safeguard high-value compressors.
Specially configured with 3A molecular sieve desiccant and activated carbon cores. Designed to capture moisture and neutralize corrosive acidic compounds in system loops. Ideal for both commercial and domestic refrigeration cycles.
Forged from high-tensile brass, tested up to 500 PSI working pressure. Utilizes multi-tier sealants and high-temperature O-rings to eliminate leaking profiles during system purging, charging, and diagnostic connection points.
Engineered for high heat exchange efficiency. Constructed with premium steel wire and high-conduciveness copper pipes, optimized through thermal analysis to lower overall power draw in refrigerators.
Our production facilities utilize a centralized Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This digital foundation guarantees real-time end-to-end traceability for every raw material lot. From the arrival of high-purity copper cathodes to final pressure testing, the MES system logs extrusion heat, drawing speeds, and atmospheric values during annealing. This level of quality management allows us to quickly identify, trace, and isolate process anomalies, protecting clients from batch-wide failures.
To eliminate mechanical failures, our lines utilize CCD visual inspection systems. They measure outer diameter concentricity and detect surface anomalies at line speed. We also utilize high-pressure helium leak detectors, which test every filter drier assembly at pressures up to 5.0 MPa. This helium-mass-spectrometry process registers micro-voids as small as 10^-8 mbar.l/s, assuring seal integrity before international shipping.
