Banner-Day Pipe Heating Lunch and Learn

Banner Engineering & Sales, Inc. was founded in 1959 by Joseph M. Day, P.E., to design and manufacture electric impedance pipe heating systems to heat carbon steel pipe for combustion fuel oil systems. This technology, now trademarked TraceFREE® is safe and attractive because it utilizes the pipe as its own heating element. TraceFREE® systems provide close temperature control and a very even, low watt heat density that will not burn temperature sensitive products. Further, the systems require minimal maintenance and lend themselves to automation.

Initial TraceFREE® applications were used to heat pipe transporting heavy bunker fuel oils burned in large automatic combustion systems produced by the Joseph M. Day Company. Since that time the TraceFREE® concept has been expanded to a wide range of product applications and industries. Typical applications include carbon steel and stainless steel pipe and tubing with sizes ranging from the ¼” to 24” and greater. TraceFREE® systems can operate at temperatures from simple freeze protection to 1400° F plus.

Banner-Day Pipe Heating is focused on your needs and welcomes opportunities to evaluate and respond to new applications.

Installation

The installation of a TraceFREE® impedance pipe heating system, while requiring less labor than steam or electric heat tracing, does require certain considerations in the design and implementation of pipe supports, hangers, and connection locations. Generally, you will use your own contractors for installation of piping and electrical wiring. Banner-Day Pipe Heating works closely with you and your contractors from the start to keep everyone aware of the installation requirements and to answer any questions that may arise.

Maintenance

While the maintenance of a TraceFREE® impedance heating system is significantly less than other pipe heating methods, select routine checks are important to ensure continuous problem-free operation. Banner-Day Pipe Heating can provide maintenance inspection services to you. During a periodic visit, a Banner-Day Pipe Heating engineer would evaluate the system performance, check all of the system components, and perform any necessary maintenance.
