Electrolux Professional Hood Type Dishwasher 504265 – green&clean, hood type

Nine point nine kilowatts on a 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz supply, a 24 litre wash tank and a 12 litre boiler define the working profile of the 504265 hood type dishwasher. At 752 x 755 x 1567 mm and a net weight of 117 kg it fits into a compact scullery bay without exceeding typical deck loading constraints.

Being engineered around a 440 V/3 ph/60 Hz network means this unit can be tied directly into a standard marine switchboard. The inlet water pressure window of 0.5–7 bar gives the yard flexibility in how the fresh water ring-main is laid out, and the 20.5 mm drain line size is modest enough to route through existing galley drainage runs. With latent heat emission quoted at 500 W and sensible at 2000 W, the warewashing station’s contribution to the HVAC load can be quantified during design rather than discovered during commissioning.

The 3 kW tank heating elements and 9 kW boiler elements are matched to the 24 litre and 12 litre capacities so the machine recovers temperature between cycles without dragging the rinse below its 84 °C setpoint. Wash temperature in NSF/ANSI 3 compliant mode is 75 °C, monitored together with the rinse by the Wash Safe Control system. The water supply temperature band of 10–65 °C allows the machine to accept both cold and preheated feed, which matters where domestic hot water is generated centrally and shared with the galley. Three programmes are available, so the operator can match cycle length and temperature regime to the soil level and inspection requirements instead of running a single all-purpose cycle.

Externally the machine stands 1567 mm high; that height and the 755 mm depth must be checked against deckhead and bulkhead clearances during layout, especially where the scullery sits under ducting or beams. A shipping weight of 140 kg and shipping volume of 1.23 m³ are relevant for planning logistics through hatches and lifts during installation or refit. In service, the quoted noise level of less than 63 dBA is a factor in a confined galley where crew are working close to the warewashing area for extended periods.

• Double-skin insulated construction

This hood type unit suits a galley that runs dishwashing in blocks through the day but does not have the volume to justify the footprint and complexity of a rack conveyor line. It is the wrong choice where wash-up demand is continuous at levels that would keep a hood permanently cycling; in that case a rack type machine from the same line will handle the load with less manual handling per rack.
