MKN Cast Iron Cooking Table 7EHEG084XHVEB – Oven, Electric

16.55 kW connected to a 380–415 V supply makes this cast iron cooking table with oven a primary cooking appliance rather than a support unit. With a net weight of 150 kg and a gross weight of 160 kg it is specified as fixed galley equipment that must be allowed for in deck loading and handling plans.

On a vessel, the 380–415 V electrical supply aligns with the three-phase distribution normally reserved for main galley plant, so this unit is scheduled alongside ovens, kettles and large ranges, not on a light-duty or single-phase board. Electrical power at 16.55 kW is significant in any galley diversity calculation, and the numbers need to sit in the load list early so that feeders, breakers and upstream switchboard capacity are correctly sized. Latent heat emission of 1988 W and sensible heat emission of 4713 W are equally important for the HVAC designer, because in an enclosed galley this moisture and heat must be removed by extraction and air-conditioning rather than written off as a room gain.

Compliance with DIN 18851 places the cooking table in the standardised commercial kitchen category for this appliance type, which gives the designer a known reference for geometry, hygiene and safety concepts. The cast iron cooking surface with thermostatic temperature control allows repeatable settings for routine production, while the integrated oven brings enclosed cooking into the same footprint. For a ship superintendent or yard engineer, the declared net and gross weights of 150 kg and 160 kg are the figures used to confirm that the supporting deck, foundations and lifting arrangements are adequate at installation and during refit.

Because the electrical specification is stated as 380–415 V, it can be harmonised with shipboard systems working in that voltage band, subject to the vessel’s own frequency and protection scheme. The quoted latent heat emission of 1988 W helps quantify the additional moisture load driven into the extract system when the oven and top are in use, while the 4713 W sensible component will inform hood capture velocity and make-up air volumes. Those values move the conversation about ventilation from estimate to calculation when multiple appliances of this class are grouped under a single canopy.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Thermostatic temperature control
• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

This configuration is appropriate where the galley has three-phase 380–415 V capacity reserved for 16.55 kW of cooking load and the HVAC plant is sized around the stated 1988 W latent and 4713 W sensible heat emissions. It is the wrong choice in a pantry, wardroom servery or small support galley that is wired only for lighter equipment or where the ventilation system has not been designed for this level of thermal and moisture output.
