Explore our foundational range of certified copper accessories, control boards, and evaporators built to secure performance.
In modern commercial, industrial, and residential refrigeration, the compressor remains the most expensive and critical component. Sudden power drops, brownouts, or user-initiated rapid power cycling present severe thermodynamic and electrical hazards to this component. Without a dedicated time delay relay (TDR), a compressor attempting to start up against high head pressure faces rotor locks, excessive coil overheating, and subsequent mechanical failure.
At Ningbo Taojun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. (formerly Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University, founded in 1988), we have dedicated more than three decades to solving system failure risks. Our integrated smart controllers and universal AC inverter systems feature advanced digital anti-short cycle time delay relays. These units regulate start-up sequences and allow pressure equalization inside the refrigeration loop, extending system lifespans and reducing field service rates for equipment manufacturers.
Ningbo Taojun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. is located in Xiangshan, Ningbo. Established in 1988 as the Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University, the company has grown over 30 years into a state-certified high-tech enterprise. Our core capabilities span from filter driers, check valves, and air conditioning valves to high-performance PCB boards, AC control systems, and custom timer relays.
Certified with ISO9001:2015 (GB/T19001-2016), RoHS, and UL approvals, we supply top-tier companies globally, including Haier, Xinfei, Midea, Gree, Whirlpool, Electrolux, and Huarui. Our engineering DNA, rooted in collaboration with leading technical universities, guarantees that every time delay relay and refrigeration component is manufactured to strict industrial standards.
Understanding the engineering difference between Delay-on-Make, Delay-on-Break, and Anti-Short-Cycle Control Boards.
Maintains contact separation upon application of supply voltage. The timing cycle is initiated by applying input power. Once the pre-selected delay interval completes, the relay energizes, closing the contacts to permit compressor activation. This configuration prevents simultaneous startup loads on large commercial grids.
Also referred to as anti-short-cycle timers. Power is applied continuously to the control board. Contact separation is triggered immediately when the thermostat call is broken or power drops out. The control circuit denies restarts for a fixed period (typically 3 to 5 minutes), guaranteeing system pressure equalization.
Combining digital time delays with variable-frequency inverter controls on a single, high-reliability PCB board. Features active monitoring for input under-voltage, over-current, and temperature limits, preventing starting failure under hostile ambient conditions.

The refrigeration supply chain is experiencing a significant shift toward energy efficiency and intelligent self-diagnostics. With global standards like EU RoHS directives, REACH, and environmental goals driving low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerant adoptions (such as R32 and R290), control systems must operate under tight tolerance bounds. Flammable refrigerants require sealed, spark-proof, solid-state delay relays. Traditional open electromotive contacts are being replaced by solid-state switching or hermetically sealed relays to prevent ignition risks in critical hazard zones.
Furthermore, smart grids require appliances to respond dynamically to load demands. Inverter control boards equipped with microprocessor-based timing controllers allow soft-starting and smooth ramp-ups. Rather than dropping line voltage, smart time delay systems negotiate power parameters with the local grid. Our collaboration with the University of Science and Technology of China has resulted in high-efficiency, multi-phase inverter algorithms embedded on universal replacement boards, making Taojun a leading manufacturing partner for major home appliance brands.
For industrial procurement directors, HVAC wholesalers, and OEM engineers, sourcing time delay relays and control assemblies relies on meeting three core metrics: supply chain reliability, broad voltage/frequency compliance, and raw material quality control. Taojun addresses these with comprehensive support packages:
Large facilities require smart power management to ensure operational safety. In commercial real estate, multi-compressor chiller loops, and transport refrigeration (cold chain container fleets), sudden grid re-energization creates massive current surges. These surges can trip main breakers, drop system voltages, and overload local electrical substations.
Our macro timing solutions integrate sequence delay relays within main electrical panels. Each compressor bank is configured with a slightly offset Delay-on-Make setting. When the main power returns after an outage, the compressors start sequentially instead of all at once. This staggers the initial inrush currents, protects the distribution transformer, and prevents secondary dropouts, keeping critical cold-chain infrastructure online.
Combined with our high-purity copper filter driers—which utilize 3A molecular sieves to absorb moisture and acids—our control systems protect refrigeration units from both electrical surges and internal corrosion. This dual approach provides a comprehensive shield for complex refrigeration setups.
We design our products with a focus on both chemical filtration and mechanical protection. Our time delay relays are engineered to work alongside our copper piping networks, check valves, and condensers.
Precision-engineered heat transfer surfaces designed to work alongside smart variable-speed fans.
Features high-purity copper shells and active desiccant cores to prevent moisture and system contamination.
Durable access, charging, and non-return valves manufactured to tight industrial standards.
Expert insights on selecting, installing, and troubleshooting timing relays and control boards in commercial HVAC/R networks.
