Engineered to comply with stringent European EN 60947 series standards, our control systems deliver robust operational reliability in extreme seasonal temperatures.
Finland’s climate conditions present unique engineering challenges for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. With winter temperatures routinely plunging below -30°C in Northern and Central regions, heat pumps and air conditioning systems must transition smoothly between heating and cooling demands. This operational environment requires high-performance Air Conditioning Contactors that can withstand heavy thermal cycles without contact binding, mechanical fatigue, or control coil dropouts.
The Finnish construction and industrial sectors are strictly governed by energy efficiency dictates aligned with the European Union's 2030 Climate Target Plan. As Finland rapidly transitions away from traditional oil-based heating towards high-efficiency air-source and geothermal heat pumps (ILP/VILP), the reliance on reliable electrical switching controls has surged. In commercial installations, data centers, and District Heating (Kaukolämpö) substations, contactors act as critical gatekeepers, managing inductive loads under extreme duty cycles. High operational frequencies in freezing temperatures demand specialized materials that prevent contact chatter and premature wear.
Specially wound pure copper coils designed to maintain magnetizing holding force even at ambient temperatures as low as -40°C, mitigating coil dropouts.
Engineered with AgNi/AgSnO2 alloy contact points, offering excellent resistance against electrical erosion, arc welding, and micro-welding under heavy inrush currents.
Optimized magnetic core structures reduce power consumption, aligning perfectly with Finland's strict environmental regulations and building codes.
In Finland, grid stability is managed under stringent standards enforced by Fingrid. Electrical systems are subject to voltage fluctuations caused by wind power fluctuations and heavy industrial loads. In this environment, an air conditioning contactor must operate reliably within 85% to 110% of its rated control voltage. If a contactor has a weak magnetic hold, voltage dips can lead to contact bounce. This bounce generates localized arcing, which raises contact temperatures and can cause contacts to fuse.
Furthermore, the shift toward natural refrigerants with low Global Warming Potential (GWP), such as R290 (propane) and R32, requires spark-free or highly insulated electrical switching components to ensure safety in close proximity to gas lines. Our range of contactors is engineered with enclosed arc chambers that isolate electrical arcs. This meets the safety standards for systems utilizing flammable A2L and A3 group refrigerants.

Ningbo Taojun Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. is located in Xiangshan, Ningbo, a coastal city known for manufacturing. Founded in 1988, our predecessor was the Xiangshan Refrigeration Accessories Factory of Zhejiang University. Over the past 30 years, we have grown into a comprehensive enterprise that integrates research, design, production, sales, and after-sales service for refrigeration and electrical accessories. In 2021, the company was recognized as a national high-tech enterprise.
Our brand "Lingshan" filter and "Taojun" components have become recognized names in the commercial HVAC and refrigeration industries. We are committed to technical innovation and equipment upgrades. Our manufacturing facility has earned ISO9001:2008 and ISO9001:2015 quality management system certifications, EU RoHS environmental directive compliance, and US UL certifications. We focus on meeting our customers' specifications and delivering stable product performance.
Our commitment to reliability is backed by systematic quality control and technical expertise.
Our core R&D team includes specialists with academic backgrounds from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and Zhejiang University. Our core raw materials are sourced from reliable international suppliers: high-stability insulating materials, Japanese-sourced copper and alloy compounds, and European-sourced high-temperature resistant bonding agents. This foundation ensures that our products maintain their structural integrity across a wide operating temperature range.
We test our finished components under strict simulated environmental conditions. Every batch undergoes thermal cycling tests, ranging from -35°C up to 75°C for a duration of 500 hours, followed by humidity chamber exposure and mechanical lifecycle verification. We use computerized optical inspection systems and high-precision gas leak detection equipment on our production lines to verify that each contactor housing and accessory meets our performance specifications.

During winter, outdoor units of air-source heat pumps function in temperatures below -25°C. At these low temperatures, standard materials can become brittle, and changes in coil resistance can lead to dropouts or contact bounce. Our contactors are designed with low-temperature resistant polymer frames and specialized coil wire gauges to maintain magnetic hold and structural stability down to -40°C.
