Explore our core high-durability system accessories designed to optimize thermal efficiency and maximize compressor lifespan.
In modern multi-split VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) and commercial refrigeration systems, the refrigeration tee (or copper branch joint) is not simply a pipe fitting; it is a critical dynamic component. As systems shift to high-pressure eco-friendly refrigerants like R410A, R32, and R744 (CO₂), the mechanical demands on tee connections have increased exponentially. Structural integrity, internal surface smoothness, and precise bifurcation geometry are paramount to prevent turbulence, pressure drops, and compressor oil-return issues.
Our refrigeration tees are manufactured exclusively from C12200 Deoxidized High Phosphorus (DHP) copper, conforming to global ASTM B280 and EN 12735-1 standards. This grade features a minimum copper content of 99.9% and phosphorus limits between 0.015% and 0.040%. Deoxidization prevents hydrogen embrittlement during brazing, ensuring joint integrity at operating pressures exceeding 4.15 MPa. Under extreme temperature cycling (from -40°C to +120°C), C12200 maintains excellent tensile strength and ductility, preventing fatigue cracks at critical bend points.
Unequal branch division in refrigeration tees creates unequal vapor-liquid flow distribution. When liquid refrigerant hits a poorly designed tee, the phase separation ratio changes, causing dry-out or liquid slugging in downstream evaporators. By optimizing the branching radius ($R \ge 1.5d$) and utilizing advanced internal sizing mandates, Taojun's tees maintain laminar flow profiles. This reduces pressure drops by up to 15% compared to standard generic copper fittings, saving considerable energy and optimizing the overall system's Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).
From residential smart homes to heavy industrial cold chains, our components deliver absolute reliability.
Perfect split distribution is required to balance liquid and gas phases to different indoor units. Our branch tees offer precise dimensional tolerance (±0.02mm) ensuring even heat exchange across multiple building zones.
Under ultra-low temperature requirements (down to -80°C), thermal shock can compromise standard joint interfaces. Our argon-arc welded, high-purity copper joints eliminate brazing micro-cracks and prevent refrigeration leaks.
For systems handling hot gas defrosting cycles and severe vibration, our heavy-gauge copper tees absorb mechanical stress and dynamic pulsation without deformation or structural breakdown over decades of operation.
Ningbo Taojun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. is located in Xiangshan, Ningbo, a beautiful tourist city. Founded in 1988, its predecessor was Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University. The company's leading products include: filter driers, check valves, air conditioning valves, condensers, brass and copper accessories, air conditioning cable ties, and other refrigeration accessories series products.
After 30 years of hard work and rapid development, it has now become a comprehensive enterprise integrating the design and development, production and sales, and after-sales service of refrigeration accessories. In 2021, it became a national high-tech enterprise. Our company is committed to technological and process innovation, equipment improvement, and the introduction of advanced management concepts to produce first-class products.
Customer satisfaction is our unwavering pursuit. With reasonable design, reliable quality, and perfect after-sales service, the "Lingshan" filter has become a well-known brand in the domestic refrigeration industry. The company has successively passed ISO9001:2008 quality management system certification, EU ROHS environmental protection directive certification, and US UL certification. The company always takes customer needs as the basis and continuously innovates management concepts to ensure efficient and stable development.
In 2012, Ningbo Taojun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. was established, creating the brand "Taojun" condensers, "Taojun" stop valves and other series of products. Over the years, it has established partnerships with well-known domestic and foreign home appliance enterprises such as Haier, Xinfei, Midea, Gree, Whirlpool, Electrolux, and Huarui. The product sales network covers major and medium-sized cities in China and is exported to Europe, America, South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other overseas markets.
Over 38 Years of Continuous Innovation in Copper and Brass Refrigeration Components
Taojun specializes in refrigeration parts for 38 years. Our catalog includes high-efficiency filter driers, access valves, condensers, and premium brass/copper fittings. Feature: TAOJUN copper filter driers are designed to absorb moisture and acid, and to filter out impurities. Normally installed as a component and replaced as a repair part for both domestic and commercial refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners.
Why do leading appliance giants like Haier, Midea, Whirlpool, and Electrolux trust Ningbo Taojun for their critical component supply? It comes down to our localization in Ningbo's world-class industrial cluster, raw material hedging strategies, and vertically integrated manufacturing lines.
Our factory utilizes direct sourcing networks from local smelters. By reducing the logistical latency between copper extrusion, precision bending, and branch tee forming, we minimize oxide layer formations on raw metal. This ensures clean brazing surfaces right off the line. Coupled with automated manufacturing machinery imported directly from Germany, we control the geometry tolerance down to ±0.02mm, ensuring zero-gap fits for high-vibration systems.
As the global HVAC industry adopts green refrigerants, traditional connection components must change. Standard copper connections are prone to failure under the high pressures of CO₂ trans-critical cycles. Ningbo Taojun's R&D department is leading this evolution by engineering reinforced dual-layer copper-iron alloys (CuFe2P) and brazing rods containing specialized flux alloys. These innovations allow our fittings to withstand pressures up to 120 bar, making them future-proof for next-generation commercial refrigeration systems.
