MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI042XP3 – Electric, Induction

196 W of latent heat and 490 W of sensible heat are the defining numbers on the MKN 7EHEI042XP3 induction cooking module. For a ship project, those figures go straight into the HVAC and extraction calculation, not just the cooking schedule.

On board, every watt that leaves the hob as room heat is a watt the chiller plant has to remove again. A module that publishes both latent and sensible emissions lets the designer quantify its impact instead of relying on generic allowances. When several pieces of equipment share a common hood and air volume, being able to assign 196 W of latent and 490 W of sensible load to this specific body helps avoid oversizing or overloading the ventilation system.

The working area is a ceramic plate with 2 zones. That gives a continuous, flat surface for pans and keeps the geometry simple for cleaning, with no separate pan supports or grates. On a vessel this sort of smooth top earns its keep in the daily wash-down: soil has fewer places to lodge, and crews can wipe or mop straight across the plate rather than working around raised hardware. Two zones suit layouts where individual modules are planned as part of a line, each taking a defined share of the cooking tasks instead of consolidating everything into a single large hob.

For refits and conversions, the heat emission data is particularly useful. Knowing that this module contributes 196 W as moisture and 490 W as sensible heat to the room allows the HVAC contractor to check whether existing ductwork, canopies and make-up air can handle the extra load. It also means the naval architect can compare the emissions of this unit with those of other appliances on the same run and place higher-load items where extraction is strongest. Because the emissions are stated on the data sheet, they can be documented in the vessel’s technical file alongside the rest of the heat balance.

Build and control

• Ceramic plate working area with 2 induction zones
• IP-rated water protection for wet cleaning regimes
• Published latent heat emission of 196 W
• Published sensible heat emission of 490 W

The 7EHEI042XP3 is the right choice when the brief calls for a clearly defined two-zone induction surface and when the heat rejected to the galley has to be calculated in advance, for example in enclosed or low-ceilinged spaces with limited HVAC headroom. It is the wrong choice where a single appliance is expected to cover a large number of pans or to act as the main production hob on its own; in those situations a broader-body induction top or a multi-module bank will give more flexibility.
