MKN Cast Iron Cooking Table 7EHEG084XST – Electric

Twelve kilowatts of installed electric power at 380–415 V puts the MKN 7EHEG084XST firmly in the core of a hot line rather than at the fringe. At 107 kg net weight it is a substantial cast iron cooking table, built to sit as a fixed piece of equipment in a galley and to stay there over the vessel’s service life.

On board, the declared 380–415 V electrical supply aligns with the three-phase systems typically found on marine switchboards, so this unit can be specified directly against the vessel’s distribution without step-down equipment. Electrical loading is straightforward to plan: 12 kW is a known draw on a cooking circuit, and it can be allocated cleanly in the power balance alongside other heavy galley consumers. The gross weight of 116 kg is also relevant at design stage where the foundation or coaming has to be sized to support the appliance plus any product load and sea forces.

The data sheet gives 3,120 W of sensible heat emission and 1,260 W of latent heat emission. Those numbers matter in an enclosed galley where surplus heat ends up on the air conditioning plant and extraction. Sensible heat at 3,120 W adds directly to the cooling load and will influence both hood design and make-up air. The latent component of 1,260 W signals a non-trivial moisture contribution, which has to be considered where humidity control is already close to its limit, especially in compact or poorly ventilated cooking areas.

Compliance with DIN 18851 signals that the 7EHEG084XST has been designed for commercial kitchen duty with geometry, hygiene and safety aligned to that standard. For a naval architect or galley planner working across ship and shore projects, that common reference point simplifies comparison with other equipment already in the fleet or yard standard, and it helps during plan review where class or inspection bodies look for recognised norms in the documentation.

Fully welded seams are called out as a construction feature. In a marine galley that is an operational point, not a marketing one: welded joints reduce the number of gaps where food soil and salt-laden condensate can collect and are easier to clean during routine wash-down. They also tie into the shipyard’s requirement to seal equipment to foundations and coamings so cleaning water does not migrate under or into the body of the appliance, which is a concern both for hygiene and for long-term corrosion.

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Fully welded seams

The 7EHEG084XST is a sound choice where a fixed electric cast iron cooking surface is needed and a 12 kW load is acceptable on the available 380–415 V supply, with known heat emissions that the HVAC plant can comfortably absorb. It is the wrong choice where connected electrical capacity is already exhausted on the relevant switchboard section, or where the combined 3,120 W sensible and 1,260 W latent heat emissions would push the galley beyond its cooling and dehumidification margin; in those cases a lower connected load or a different cooking concept should be examined.
