MKN Cooking Module 7EHE1084XP3EB – Electric, Induction

One electric cooking position shedding 1,120 W of latent heat and 2,573 W of sensible heat is a defined load, not an estimate. The 7EHE1084XP3EB publishes those figures so the galley and HVAC design can be tied back to hard data at specification stage.

On board, that matters because the galley is usually a closed box tied directly into the vessel’s chilled-water or DX plant. The 1,120 W latent component from this module is the moisture that has to be condensed or exhausted to keep decks and bulkheads dry and to stop canopies dripping during service. The 2,573 W sensible portion is what lifts the room temperature and has to be carried away by the air-handling unit, or it will end up as extra heat in the accommodation spaces above and around the galley.

Used as part of a modular cooking line, the 7EHE1084XP3EB lets the designer add those 1,120 W latent and 2,573 W sensible figures to the other published emissions and know exactly what the canopy and make-up air system have to handle. That is particularly useful where the shipyard is trying to hold down installed refrigeration power or where the vessel’s electrical system leaves little margin for oversizing auxiliary systems. It also gives the superintendent something concrete to check during a refit when an older hot-plate or gas position is being replaced and the HVAC balance needs to be revisited.

Because this is an electric induction module, the heat it does not emit into the room is as relevant as the heat it does. Thermal transfer is concentrated into the pan, so a sensible emission of 2,573 W from the cooking position gives a realistic picture of the residual convective and radiated load that reaches the air, rather than the much higher plate rating seen on traditional electric tops. At the same time, the quoted 1,120 W latent heat figure anchors the moisture contribution from the cooking process to a number that can be designed around instead of guessed.

Build and control

• Thermostatic temperature control
• IP-rated water protection

Thermostatic temperature control allows the galley team to hold a stable setpoint on the cooking surface while the electrical draw remains predictable for the switchboard designer. IP-rated water protection supports wash-down cleaning routines in which equipment is exposed to splashing and spray, reducing the risk that routine sanitation will lead to nuisance faults from water ingress.

This module is a good choice where the vessel runs a planned modular line and the project team needs explicit latent and sensible heat emissions for each position to close out the HVAC and electrical calculations. It is the wrong choice where the requirement is for a purely mechanical, non-induction heat source or where the ship’s electrical balance cannot accommodate another electric cooking load and the design needs to stay on gas.
