Full Stainless Steel Jackets

The concept of multi-section, multi-jacketed kilns was initially conceived to cut manufacturing costs and streamline the installation process, objectives that are undeniably admirable. However, this strategy often leads to a reduction in kiln quality—a sacrifice Evenheat is not willing to entertain.

Evenheat's dedication to superior craftsmanship is evident in their approach to kiln construction. Opting for complete stainless steel jackets that extend from the base to the lid, they prioritize enduring strength and stability. This intentional design choice ensures their kilns are impervious to leaks, wobbling, or structural weaknesses. Opting for an Evenheat kiln means choosing a product with full stainless jackets, where exceptional construction quality is not just an attribute; it's a commitment.

Seeking to sidestep the pitfalls of mechanical relay failures and the associated maintenance costs?

Discover the revolutionary Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System from Evenheat, a marvel of innovation with no moving parts, promising a durable, maintenance-free lifespan. Revel in its outstanding performance, delivering precise and consistent heating to keep your kiln at peak performance without interruption.

Exploring the World of Relay Technology: Solid-state relays (SSRs) emerge as a robust, reliable choice over traditional mechanical relays with their moving parts and electromagnetic coils. SSRs harness a solid semiconductor, negating mechanical wear and offering significant advantages in managing kiln temperature.

Advantage 1 - Peerless Durability: SSRs excel in longevity, immune to the mechanical wear and electrical arcing that plague mechanical relays. The repetitive clicking from a kiln, indicative of mechanical relays at work, eventually leads to wear and subsequent repair costs. Evenheat's SSRs, in contrast, deliver a quiet, dependable performance that endures alongside your kiln.

Advantage 2 - Enhanced Temperature Accuracy: While mechanical relays are limited in cycling frequency to preserve their lifespan, SSRs can cycle up to 120 times per second, enabling quick adjustments and unparalleled temperature accuracy. All Evenheat controls, including the now-standard Icon controller, utilize the rapid cycling of SSRs for precise temperature regulation.

Advantage 3 - Prolonged Heating Element Life: SSRs incorporate Zero Crossing technology, switching at the AC power's zero-voltage point. This significantly extends heating elements' lifespans by maintaining optimal voltage levels, reducing wear in comparison to mechanical relays without this technology.

Design Excellence - 30 Amp Capacity: Evenheat selects SSRs rated for 30 amps but operates them at a safe 15 amps, ensuring a wide safety margin for consistent, reliable performance. This keeps the SSRs comfortably within their derating curve, ensuring they operate coolly and last longer, backed by Evenheat's quality promise.

Design Excellence - External SSR Heatsinks: Proper cooling is essential for the longevity of SSRs. Evenheat optimizes this by externally mounting SSR heatsinks, allowing unrestricted airflow and preventing heat buildup inside the control enclosure. This design isolates heat transfer between the control enclosure and the SSR, aided by standoffs that introduce a cooling air gap. This meticulous design ensures the SSRs operate at peak performance, evidenced by an impressive six-year track record of zero failures.
