MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI051DQF8 – Electric, Induction

Eight kilowatts of electrical power on a single induction module gives this 7EHEI051DQF8 a defined role in a cooking line and a clear figure for the load schedule. Coupled with IP-rated water protection and a hinged lid, it is set up for hard, wet cleaning regimes where open modules would need more shielding.

The specified electrical supply band of 380–415 V ties directly into the distribution systems commonly found on ships and offshore units. For a superintendent checking spare capacity on an existing board, 8 kW at 380–415 V is the number that matters for cable sizing, breaker selection and diversity calculations. It also simplifies spares and standardisation when the rest of the galley plant is already specified in the same voltage window.

Heat rejection into the room is often the hidden constraint in a compact galley, and this unit puts explicit numbers on it. Sensible heat emission is quoted at 560 W, with latent heat emission at 224 W. Those two figures belong in the HVAC model alongside the rest of the cooking battery: 560 W adds to the cooling demand on the air-handling unit, while 224 W indicates the moisture load that will need to be pulled out to keep humidity and temperatures at setpoint. On a refit where the air-conditioning plant is already near its design limit, knowing that each installed module contributes 560 W and 224 W avoids surprises once the kitchen is in full service.

The hinged lid affects both operation and hygiene. Closed when the module is not in use, it helps contain vapour and splashes from hot cookware, reducing the spread of the 224 W latent load into the rest of the galley envelope and limiting soil on nearby surfaces. When opened, it provides full access to the induction zone without obstructing the operator.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

This configuration suits a main or crew galley where a defined 8 kW induction position is required on a 380–415 V supply, and where the designer wants published figures of 560 W sensible and 224 W latent heat emission for HVAC coordination. It is the wrong choice where the available supply in the space falls outside the 380–415 V range, or where the cooking concept relies entirely on fuel types other than electric induction. In those cases, specifying this module would introduce an incompatible load rather than solving a capacity problem.
