Why Top Global Brands Partner with Ningbo Taojun

We combine research partnerships, imported production equipment, and strict quality control protocols to ensure every batch of copper components meets exact client specifications.

01 Hi-Tech German Equipment

Our core manufacturing lines use precision machinery imported from Germany to guarantee stable mechanical forming, end bending, and consistent wall thickness on our copper components.

02 Strong R&D with Zhejiang University

Our technical center employs 15 dedicated research engineers, including PhDs and professors from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), driving thermal innovation.

03 End-to-End OEM & ODM Services

We design and manufacture custom-shaped copper connections, variable inlet sizes, and custom filter volumes, supporting fast prototyping and seamless production scaling.

04 Strict Raw Material Selection

We use high-purity deoxidized copper (C12200). Our specialized smart film applications utilize raw materials imported from Japan and Europe, designed to withstand continuous operating temperatures from 70°C up to 90°C.

05 Rigorous Finished Product Testing

We conduct high & low temperature testing (75°C to -35°C for 500 hours), thermal shock testing (10°C to 90°C), and 100V high-voltage breakdown verification to guarantee zero-defect performance in the field.

06 Helium Leak Testing

To prevent refrigerant emissions, 100% of our active valve components and filter drier shells undergo pressurized leak testing, ensuring containment integrity before shipment.

The Science of Copper Filter Driers & System Life

Refrigeration loops are sensitive to moisture and chemical impurities. The presence of water can lead to ice formation in capillary tubes and trigger the hydrolysis of synthetic lubricants, creating corrosive acids that can damage compressor motor windings.

Filter Drier Core Structure & Composition:

  • Outer Shell: High-purity, corrosion-resistant C12200 copper pipe, built to withstand high operating pressures.
  • Desiccant Blend: 3A molecular sieve cores (water adsorption ≥ 20%) paired with activated carbon to capture decomposed oil components.
  • Filtration Mesh: Dual-layer steel or bronze mesh, designed to trap particulates down to 50 microns.
  • Assembly Method: Automatic argon arc welding and spin-closed ends, creating clean, leak-free joints.

By trapping contaminants and removing water down to low ppm levels, Taojun copper filter driers maintain system capacity, lower pressure drop across components, and prevent critical compressor failures.

Technical FAQ: Copper Connections & Filtration

Find answers to common engineering, procurement, and specification questions regarding copper connections and refrigeration drier assemblies.

Which copper grades do you use for HVAC/R connections?

We manufacture our components using C12200 Phosphorus-Deoxidized Copper (minimum 99.9% Cu, 0.015% to 0.040% Phosphorus). This grade offers excellent brazing characteristics, high thermal conductivity, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement under high thermal stress.

How do you choose between 3Å and 4Å molecular sieves in copper filter driers?

For standard HFC, HCFC, and HFO systems (including R134a, R410A, and R32), we use 3Å (Angstrom) molecular sieves. The 3Å pore size selectively adsorbs water molecules (approx 2.8Å) while excluding larger refrigerant and oil molecules, preventing chemical breakdown of the refrigerant loop.

What are your standard pressure and leak testing specifications?

Our filter driers and connection valves undergo pressure testing with dry nitrogen. Components intended for high-pressure R410A or R32 systems are tested to a proof pressure of 4.2 to 4.5 MPa. Our helium mass spectrometer leak testing checks for leakage down to less than 1x10^-7 mbar.l/s.

Can you customize copper connection profiles for specific OEM equipment?

Yes. Through our ODM services, we manufacture custom tube diameters, spin-closed end dimensions, capillary integrations, and custom-bent elbows. We work from customer CAD files to ensure compatibility with automatic brazing setups.

How does Taojun manage raw material tracing and compliance?

Our processes follow ISO 9001:2015 guidelines, and our raw material batches are fully documented. We verify our metal sheets and tubes through chemical tests, ensuring compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements for clean, lead-free systems.
