Dehmel & Associates

What Dehmel & Associates does

Dehmel & Associates (operating in China as 扬州共创热工器材有限公司, brand: 共创) is an industrial manufacturer of heat exchangers and finned-tube radiators based in Yiling Industrial Park, Jiangdu District, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. The company's portfolio centers on finned-tube heat-transfer technology across multiple material configurations (copper-wound, steel-wound, steel-aluminum composite, stainless steel, bimetallic aluminum-rolled) and is delivered as both standalone finned tubes for OEM integration and finished radiator/heat-exchanger units. Its signature technical platform combines steel-aluminum composite finned tubes (claimed near-zero thermal resistance at 210°C), floating-head structures for thermal-stress compensation, and dual pressure-testing protocols at 25-30 kg/cm² with 15-minute holds. The company holds a registered patent for a marine refrigeration heat exchanger, indicating a protected niche product line.

The company serves industrial and commercial customers across more than fifteen sectors — textile, printing and dyeing, chemicals, food processing, power, metallurgy, shipbuilding, hospitals, theaters, and HVAC — through a horizontal segmentation strategy. Its go-to-market is primarily factory-direct, bypassing dealers and intermediaries, supplemented by online e-commerce platforms and inbound lead generation through a content-rich website (dehmelcpa.com), QQ, WeChat, and telephone. It produces both standard catalog models and custom/OEM units built to customer drawings, with pricing provided on inquiry rather than through published lists.

Dehmel & Associates is a privately held Chinese limited company with no disclosed parent, investors, funding rounds, leadership team, or financial figures. Revenue mechanics consist of one-time hardware sales (radiators, heat exchangers, finned tubes, forced-air heaters) and custom design/processing services. The legal entity (扬州共创热工器材有限公司), ICP registration, and public-security registration all confirm domicile in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, with the operating geographies limited to China despite stated intent to expand internationally. The business model is fundamentally a small-scale industrial OEM/ODM competing on customizability, direct-factory pricing, and process quality rather than on technology differentiation, scale, or recurring software revenue.

Product overview

扬州共创热工器材有限公司 (品牌: 共创) operates as a manufacturer of industrial heat exchangers and finned tube radiators, producing both standard型和 non-standard (非标型) products. The product portfolio centers on finned tube heat exchangers — the core technology across the entire range — with two primary variants: (1) finned tube elements sold separately for integration into third-party equipment, including 翅片管 (finned tubes), 钢铝复合翅片管 (steel-aluminum composite finned tubes), and 不锈钢翅片管 (stainless steel finned tubes); and (2) finished radiator/heat exchanger units that incorporate these finned tube cores, including 导热油散热器, 蒸汽散热器, 铜管铝串片散热器, 钢管绕铝片散热器, 钢管绕钢片散热器, 388vip太阳集团, 高388vip太阳集团, 钢管铝轧片散热器, 不锈钢串片散热器, 船用制冷散热器, and 暖风机. The company also manufactures 热管换热器 (heat pipe heat exchangers) as a distinct product line. The product range covers heating media including steam, hot water, and thermal oil, and serves industries spanning textile, printing, chemical, food processing, power, shipbuilding, and construction. Materials include copper-wound, steel-wound, bimetallic aluminum-rolled, and stainless steel components, with the GLⅡ series representing the company's primary steel-aluminum radiator configuration.

• Alfa Laval: Global leader in heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling. Operates a dedicated heat exchanger division covering gasketed plate, brazed plate, welded, and finned tube designs across HVAC, industrial, marine, and refrigeration end markets — directly overlapping with Dehmel/Gongchuang's product portfolio and customer segments, though at vastly larger scale.
• Danfoss (Sondex brand): Through its Sondex division, manufactures plate heat exchangers for HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial applications. Comparable in serving similar industrial and refrigeration end markets with heat transfer equipment, though with much broader technology portfolio.

Direct peers

• API Heat Transfer: Specialized manufacturer of heat exchangers including air-cooled, shell-and-tube, and plate designs for industrial and HVAC applications. Closely comparable product portfolio to Dehmel/Gongchuang, with similar focus on engineered-to-order heat exchange solutions for industrial customers.

Regional players

• Thermax Limited: India-based manufacturer of heat exchangers, boilers, and process heating equipment. Serves similar industrial process heating and cooling applications across multiple industries. Comparable in product range and custom manufacturing approach, though primarily serving South Asian markets rather than China.
• Liangzi (Beijing) Heat Exchange Equipment: Chinese-based manufacturer of heat exchangers and finned tube radiators serving industrial and HVAC applications. Direct competitor in the Chinese domestic market with similar product portfolio including steel-aluminum composite finned tubes and steam radiators.
• Wuxi Tian'en Heat Exchange Equipment: Wuxi-based Chinese manufacturer of heat exchangers and radiators. Compete in the same regional market with overlapping product lines including finned tube heat exchangers and industrial radiators. Comparable scale and customer base to Dehmel/Gongchuang in the Chinese industrial heat exchanger market.
