Engineered for maximum structural integrity, optimized air flow, and direct compatibility with heat pump retrofits under current Irish SEAI scheme parameters.
Our Legacy of Precision Engineering since 1988
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. Over more than three decades of focused growth, we have expanded our capacity to become a national high-tech enterprise integration hub for HVAC design, production, and comprehensive after-sales service.
We specialize in manufacturing critical refrigeration components, including: filter driers, check valves, air conditioning valves, condensers, brass and copper accessories, and air conditioning cable ties. Under the strict supervision of ISO9001:2015 processes and complying with US UL and EU RoHS regulations, our signature "Lingshan" and "Taojun" brands have earned prestigious status among mechanical engineers, bulk distributors, and large-scale industrial buyers across Europe and the Americas.

A Technical Whitepaper on Outdoor Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) & VRF Support Systems in Coastal Environments
Installing outdoor air conditioning units or residential air-to-water heat pumps in Ireland presents mechanical engineers with unique meteorological challenges. With cities like Galway, Cork, Limerick, and Dublin directly exposed to saline Atlantic sea sprays and continuous rainfall, corrosion mechanisms are highly accelerated. Under ISO 12944 classification, these zones represent C4 (High) to C5 (Very High) corrosivity environments.
Furthermore, Irish wind speeds routinely reach gale force, with severe winter storms (such as Storm Barra) generating gusts exceeding 130 km/h. Standard powder-coated steel brackets intended for inland continental climates will fail within 12 to 24 months, leading to structural fatigue, unsightly rust streaks on building facades, and potentially catastrophic failures. Our research with structural engineers indicates that support structures must be verified to withstand wind actions under Eurocode 1 (EN 1991-1-4).
Under the Irish Building Regulations (Part L - Conservation of Fuel and Energy), the installation of efficient heat pump systems is surging, particularly with support from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). However, residential installations often face strict noise pollution regulations. Low-frequency compressor vibrations can transmit directly through building walls if the mounting system lacks sufficient elastomer dampening. Taojun's dedicated residential brackets integrate bespoke heavy-duty natural rubber anti-vibration dampers, isolating over 98% of structural vibrations.
Every commercial build and public development project in Ireland requires certified support structures. Taojun ensures compliance by designing our wall-mounted and ground-mounted bracket frames to support static loads of up to 250 kg (with a certified safety factor of 2.5x). Our hot-dip galvanized steel frames conform strictly to EN ISO 1461 standards, ensuring a minimum zinc coating thickness of 85 μm. This delivers an expected service life of 25+ years without maintenance in C4/C5 environments.

Specifically manufactured to withstand high Atlantic wind zones. Every batch undergoes salt spray testing (ASTM B117) exceeding 1000 hours.
Meets structural stiffness requirements to prevent structural sound conduction, critical for domestic retrofitting projects.
Tailored bracket dimensions, integrated bubble levels, and custom logo stamping directly integrated within our Chinese manufacturing plant.
From standard wall-mounted split system brackets to complex commercial refrigeration driers.
Our core production equipment is imported directly from Germany, enabling high-speed automated punching, metal forming, and precision surface treating with extreme repeatability.
Our R&D department features 15 highly specialized engineers, collaborating directly with national academies to pioneer fluid dynamics inside condensers and structural stress analysis for mounts.
Comprehensive environmental chamber testing: temperature cycling from -35°C to 75°C for 500 hours, helium leak-detection, and 100V high-voltage insulation tests for automated PCB boards.
Shielding Compressors from Moisture, Acid, and Particulates
Besides mounting systems, Taojun manufactures critical internal components that keep refrigeration and heat pump systems operational in Western Europe. Dryers are essential protection blocks; any residual moisture in the system can freeze inside expansion valves, or form destructive acids when mixed with modern synthetic HFC/HFO refrigerants.
These components are vital for large commercial VRV/VRF projects and residential district-heating systems throughout Ireland. Our high-capacity copper accumulators and filter driers extend system operational lifetimes, maintaining overall performance parameters year after year.
Eliminate intermediaries. Purchase direct from our Zhejiang factory with full European certification compliance.
For large merchant groups (like Chadwicks or Davies), we offer custom-engraved logos, specialized powder-coat colors to match corporate brands, and fully customized product booklets inside the retail packaging.
Our standard manufacturing lead time is 15-20 days from order confirmation to departure from Ningbo Port. We support flexible MOQs (minimum 500 units for customized bracket products), securing optimal cash-flow dynamics for our procurement partners.
Every shipment is packaged with moisture-barrier wrapping and robust shipping pallets. We provide full documentation packages, including Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, CE Compliance Certs, and detailed Packing Lists for immediate Irish Customs clearance.
Our commitment to quality extends past product delivery, offering localized design verification and lifetime support.
Key technical answers for design engineers, procurement specialists, and distributors in Ireland.
For coastal zones within 5km of the sea (e.g., Dublin Bay, Galway Bay), we strongly recommend Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) steel conforming to EN ISO 1461 with a minimum zinc thickness of 85 μm, or Marine-Grade 316 Stainless Steel. Standard painted or electro-galvanized brackets will corrode quickly under coastal salt-spray exposure.
Our brackets feature bespoke, heavy-duty natural rubber anti-vibration mountings (AVMs). These dampening blocks isolate motor and compressor vibrations, preventing low-frequency hums from transmitting through building walls, ensuring compliance with local sound emission laws.
Yes. All copper filter driers, check valves, and condensers manufactured at our plant carry full CE markings, RoHS environmental directive compliance, and ISO 9001:2015 registration, satisfying all technical requirements for import and installation across the European Union.
Manufacturing takes approximately 15 to 20 days. Ocean transit from Ningbo Port to Dublin Port typically takes between 35 and 45 days. We suggest bulk orders be placed 60 days ahead of peak installation seasons (Spring/Autumn).
Fully compliant with international standards, direct from our certified manufacturing facility.
