Discover the benefits of Solid-State Relays: A Leap in Kiln Technology

Solid-state relays (SSRs) mark a significant upgrade from traditional mechanical relays, which depend on physical contacts and electromagnets. SSRs utilize a solid semiconductor, doing away with moving parts, thus reducing wear and greatly enhancing kiln temperature control.

Advantage 1 - Enhanced Durability:

SSRs boast an impressive lifespan, free from the mechanical wear and electrical arcing common in mechanical relays. Mechanical relays, usually identifiable by a characteristic clicking sound, indicate operation and eventual wear, leading to the need for maintenance. In contrast, Evenheat's SSRs operate quietly and with high reliability, significantly increasing their useful life to match that of your kiln.

Advantage 2 - Unrivaled Temperature Control:

While mechanical relays typically cycle every 10 to 14 seconds, balancing control and longevity, SSRs can cycle up to 120 times per second. This rapid cycling enables quicker adjustments and extraordinary temperature precision. Every Evenheat control system, including the advanced Icon controller, benefits from SSRs' rapid cycling, ensuring unparalleled temperature accuracy.

Advantage 3 - Prolonged Heating Element Life:

SSRs use Zero Crossing technology, activating at the zero-voltage point in AC power cycles. This technique extends the life of heating elements by maintaining optimal voltage levels, in contrast to mechanical relays that lack this precision.

Design Excellence - 30 Amp Capacity:

Evenheat chooses 30-amp rated SSRs but operates them at a conservative 15 amps. This design provides a significant safety margin, allowing the SSRs to function within their derating curve even at a 15-amp load, leading to cooler operation and extended life. This reflects Evenheat's commitment to superior design.

Design Excellence - Externally Mounted SSR Heatsinks:

The longevity of SSRs is heavily reliant on effective cooling. Evenheat addresses this by mounting the SSR heatsinks externally, enhancing airflow and preventing heat accumulation inside the control box. This design prevents heat transfer between the enclosure and the SSRs, with standoffs creating an air gap for further cooling. This careful design ensures optimal SSR performance, backed by an impressive six-year track record of zero failures.
