MKN Cooking Module 7EHE1084XP5EB – Electric, Induction

Two figures define the thermal footprint of the 7EHE1084XP5EB in a marine galley: 2,993 W of sensible heat and 1,288 W of latent heat emission. Those numbers give the HVAC designer a clear handle on how this induction module will load an enclosed cooking space over a service.

On board, waste heat is never abstract. Every kilowatt that leaves a hob as room heat has to be removed again by chilled water and fans, and in many refits the air‑conditioning capacity is fixed long before the galley layout is touched. The published 2,993 W sensible and 1,288 W latent heat figures allow the module to be dropped directly into the galley’s ventilation and cooling calculations, rather than working from rule‑of‑thumb allowances. That reduces the risk of hot spots on compact decks where make‑up air and extraction are difficult to route.

Because this is an induction cooking module, the attraction in a ship’s galley is the controlled thermal behaviour as much as the speed of response. Induction transfers most of its energy into the pan and its contents, with the remaining fraction escaping as warm air and moisture around the unit. The specified sensible and latent emissions quantify that escape. For a designer balancing several hobs, ovens and dishwashers on a single deck, being able to attribute 2,993 W of sensible and 1,288 W of latent heat to this specific body makes it much easier to identify where supply air, extraction and any local canopies need to be strengthened.

Thermostatic temperature control simplifies day‑to‑day use and standardises results between watches. Once a setpoint is chosen, the control system holds the cooking temperature consistently rather than relying on manual power steps, which is useful in a galley where different crews rotate through the same line and repeatability matters more than individual feel. It also supports structured HACCP routines by keeping cooking processes within defined limits.

Build and control

• Thermostatic temperature control
• IP‑rated water protection

The IP‑rated water protection is significant on a vessel where open‑deck and internal galleys are routinely cleaned down with hoses and high‑moisture methods. Protection against water ingress at the level stated by MKN reduces the risk of nuisance trips and moisture‑related faults after cleaning or in areas with high ambient humidity. Combined with thermostatic control, it makes the module a technical fit for shipboard service where equipment is exposed to more aggressive cleaning than in many shore kitchens.

This module is a good choice where the design is driven by a tight HVAC envelope and where the thermal contribution of each appliance has to be known and limited. It is less suitable as the sole cooking source in a very small pantry if the ventilation has not been engineered for nearly 3 kW of sensible output and over 1 kW of latent load from a single position. In those cases, the total room allowance may be reached with fewer appliances than the floor space would otherwise permit.
