MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI051DQF5 – Electric, Induction

5 kW is the installed electrical power on the MKN 7EHEI051DQF5 induction cooking module. That figure positions it as a focused cooking point in a line rather than a high‑capacity boiling or frying station.

On a shipboard galley, the electrical supply and the heat this unit releases into the room are design inputs from the outset. The 7EHEI051DQF5 is specified for a 380–415 V electrical supply, aligning with typical three‑phase distributions found on vessels and giving the yard a defined voltage window to design around. The published heat emissions are 140 W of latent and 350 W of sensible heat. Those numbers are low enough that a designer can place this module in a compact, enclosed galley without creating a disproportionate load on the ventilation and cooling plant, yet they still need to be counted when the whole cooking block is summed.

The 5 kW rating gives concentrated heating capacity at a level most ship switchboards can accommodate comfortably on a standard protective device. In practice, that means several modules of this scale can share a section of the distribution board without forcing an uprating of the entire feeder. For the HVAC engineer, the 140 W latent emission defines the moisture contribution from this station, while the 350 W sensible emission is a direct input into the cooling load calculation. On a vessel where the galley sits deep within the accommodation, each of these small contributions accumulates across the line, so having them declared per appliance simplifies the summation and reduces guesswork in the air volume and chiller sizing.

Compliance with DIN 18851 places the 7EHEI051DQF5 within a family of commercial kitchen appliances whose geometry, hygienic details and testing follow a recognised European standard. For a newbuild or major refit, that helps in plan approval and in coordinating furniture, upstands and drainage, because the body design is tied to a known reference rather than a custom one‑off.

The hinged lid is the main mechanical feature called out for this module. Kept closed during cooking, it limits vapour release from the pan, directly reducing how much of the 140 W latent design figure is realised into the room over a service. In poor sea conditions, the lid also acts as a containment measure, keeping product inside the well when the vessel moves and avoiding splashes onto adjacent equipment or walkways.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Hinged lid

This module is a good fit where a 5 kW induction point is one of several appliances sharing a cooking block and where the published 140 W latent and 350 W sensible emissions can be absorbed by the existing HVAC design. It is the wrong choice as the primary production kettle or main frying centre for a large crew or passenger complement, because that duty typically needs either higher installed power per appliance or several larger bodies working together to achieve the required throughput. In such cases, this unit is better specified as a supplementary, not central, heat source.
