I、Introduction: Global Tube & HVAC Industry Transformation
The global tube and welding industry is entering a decisive stage of transformation. For decades, copper pipes dominated HVAC systems due to their conductivity and workability. Yet the challenges of rising raw material costs, volatile global supply chains, and increasing environmental regulations have forced manufacturers to look for smarter and greener alternatives.
In particular, HVAC tube production—covering air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat exchange applications—has become a central focus of innovation. HVAC systems account for a large share of global energy consumption, and manufacturers are under growing pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and deliver sustainable solutions. The shift from copper to stainless steel, supported by advanced welding technologies and intelligent automation, is rapidly shaping the industry' s future.
It is within this context that Guangdong Hangao Technology Co., Ltd., a leading provider of intelligent welding and tube production equipment, will participate in TUBOTECH 2025 from October 29–31 in São Paulo, Brazil. At Booth No. 310, Hangao will present its latest HVAC tube production solutions, alongside a full range of intelligent tube and welding technologies designed to drive efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness worldwide.
II、Global Trends: Smart Manufacturing and Sustainability in HVAC
The HVAC sector, along with the broader tube and welding industry, is being reshaped by several megatrends:
Intelligent Manufacturing Becomes the Standard
The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies such as IoT sensors, big data analytics, and AI-driven quality control is transforming HVAC tube production.
Automated monitoring and predictive maintenance reduce downtime, while ensuring consistent weld quality and stable performance.
Advanced Welding Technologies for HVAC Tubes
Traditional welding methods are being replaced by multi-cathode welding with electromagnetic control, which delivers superior seam consistency at high speed.
Laser welding and seam tracking allow for ultra-precise joining, critical in HVAC applications where pressure resistance and durability are key.
Sustainability and Carbon Neutrality
With governments enforcing stricter energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets, stainless steel HVAC tubes are increasingly favored for their durability, recyclability, and lower environmental impact compared to copper.
Smooth inner walls of stainless steel tubes also reduce refrigerant flow resistance, improving energy efficiency in HVAC systems.
Regional Opportunities in South America
Brazil and its neighboring markets are seeing strong growth in both residential and commercial HVAC systems.
As South America's largest tube and welding exhibition, TUBOTECH provides an ideal platform for HVAC manufacturers to explore cutting-edge solutions.
Advantages of Stainless Steel HVAC Tubes
The move from copper to stainless steel is driven by both economic benefits and performance advantages:
Durability: Stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion and wear, extending service life in HVAC systems.
Energy Efficiency: Reduced flow resistance translates into higher system efficiency and lower energy costs.
Cost Effectiveness: Stainless steel raw materials cost significantly less than copper, offering major savings.
Strength and Safety: Higher mechanical strength ensures better resistance to pressure and harsh environments.
Sustainability: 100% recyclable, stainless steel aligns with global green manufacturing goals.
These advantages explain why stainless steel HVAC tubes are not just an alternative but a clear upgrade for the industry.
