MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI042XP5 – Electric, Induction

700 W of sensible and 280 W of latent heat emission are the key numbers on the MKN 7EHEI042XP5 when it is placed into a shipboard galley. They define how much dry heat and moisture this ceramic plate module will add to the room whenever its 2 zones are in use.

On a vessel, that split between sensible and latent heat goes straight into the HVAC calculation. The 700 W sensible figure becomes cooling capacity that the air-conditioning plant must pick up to hold the galley temperature, while the 280 W latent component tells the designer what portion of that load appears as humidity on decks, bulkheads and canopies. Having both values specified removes guesswork when balancing extract airflow and make‑up air across several cooking positions on the same line.

The working area is a ceramic plate with 2 zones, so this body suits a layout where compact point induction is required rather than a single large surface. Each zone can be treated as an individual pan position by the chef, but from the engineer’s perspective the module is a defined 7EHEI042XP5 thermal source with a fixed heat emission profile. That clarity makes it possible to compare this unit directly with other appliances at specification stage based on their published impact on the space.

Traceability is straightforward because the MKN code and the article number are both 7EHEI042XP5. In practice, that means the same identifier appears on the equipment list, wiring diagrams and spare-part records. When a vessel comes in for refit, the yard can match the original body exactly by code, keeping the same ceramic 2‑zone working area and the same 700 W / 280 W emission data already used in the HVAC and electrical documentation.

In day-to-day operation, the low latent figure compared with the sensible component helps keep condensation under control under the hood and on nearby surfaces, which is relevant in galleys where long cooking periods are planned in a confined space. At the same time, the defined 700 W sensible load makes it easier to predict how this module will influence temperature at the chef’s position when several pans are working at once on the ceramic plate 2 zones.

Build and control

• Ceramic plate working area with 2 zones
• IP-rated water protection

This module is a good fit where a compact electric induction position is needed with clearly published 700 W sensible and 280 W latent heat emission for HVAC planning. It is the wrong choice where the concept calls for one large continuous surface or where more than 2 pans need to be held in the same footprint, because the ceramic plate is divided specifically into 2 zones.
