MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI051DQF8B – Electric, Induction

10 kW of installed electric power on an induction module sets this unit up as a focused cooking station rather than a general-purpose range. On a compact galley line that needs concentrated output without adding unnecessary deck heat, that figure is the planning anchor.

The electrical supply window of 380–415 V matches common three-phase distributions in marine switchboards, so the 7EHEI051DQF8B can usually be specified directly to the vessel’s system design instead of being adapted from a shore-only variant. For the HVAC and hotel load calculation, the published emissions matter as much as the power draw: 700 W of sensible and 280 W of latent heat are what this module exports into the room during operation, numbers that feed straight into the air-conditioning and extraction design for an enclosed galley.

Because this is an induction-based cooking module, the 10 kW rating refers to electric input rather than combustion energy, and the heat emission figures reflect that the majority of the power is transferred into the pan rather than the surrounding air. That is why the sensible heat output of 700 W sits well below the electrical nameplate value, an important distinction on ships where every watt of cooling capacity has to be installed, powered and maintained. With only 280 W of latent heat to deal with, this unit adds relatively little moisture to the galley air compared to open boiling appliances, which helps keep dew point and condensation under control in spaces with stainless linings and cold bridges.

The hinged lid is not just a mechanical convenience. Closed during cooking, it influences both energy use and climate load by containing steam and spatter at the source, keeping the effective latent contribution closer to the stated 280 W figure. It also gives a defined rest position for the cover in seaway, so the lid is not a loose component that can move with ship motion. When open, the hinge geometry governs how far the cover projects, which needs to be considered when arranging adjacent modules and overhead structures.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

This configuration suits a galley where the design brief calls for a dedicated, electrically heated induction module on a 380–415 V supply, with documented heat emissions for HVAC sizing and cleaning with water spray covered by the IP-rated protection. It is the wrong choice where the requirement is for gas-fired equipment or where no suitable three-phase supply in the 380–415 V band is available at the intended location.
