MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI051DQP5 – Electric, Induction

140 W of latent heat and 350 W of sensible heat are the two figures that define how the MKN 7EHEI051DQP5 induction module loads a ship’s HVAC system. For a single cooking position those numbers are modest, which makes planning easier in compact galleys where every watt of extracted heat has to be budgeted.

On board, heat rejection is a design parameter, not an afterthought. Galley extraction, make‑up air and chilled water capacity are all sized around the latent and sensible loads from the cooking line. Knowing that this module contributes 140 W of moisture and 350 W of dry heat allows the naval architect and HVAC designer to allocate capacity with confidence instead of working from generic assumptions. For a refit where existing air handling is already close to its limit, the low emissions of an induction module are often what keeps the calculation inside the safety margin.

Induction is typically chosen in marine projects to cut wasted heat and keep ambient temperatures in a workable range. The 7EHEI051DQP5 supports that goal directly through its declared 350 W sensible output, which is significantly lower than a comparable hot‑plate or open‑flame position would usually impose on the room. The 140 W latent component is equally important because it is the moisture that drives dehumidification load and can push ductwork and chilled‑water coils into continuous high duty if underestimated. In a closed galley without natural ventilation, this matters day after day.

From an installation perspective, having published latent and sensible figures for a single module helps when this unit is part of a longer battery. A bank of identical 7EHEI051DQP5 positions simply scales those numbers linearly, so a designer can check quickly whether an existing hood and air treatment unit can take on another position, or whether a higher‑capacity section is required. On passenger vessels under frequent survey, staying within the designed HVAC envelope also reduces the risk of condensation or hot spots that inspectors notice immediately.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection

The IP-rated water protection is a practical feature in shipboard use, where daily cleaning routines involve hose‑down of decks and equipment fronts rather than light wipe‑downs. A module without some level of ingress protection would either limit how aggressively the crew can clean, or risk water reaching live parts and causing nuisance trips or damage over time.

This induction module is a good fit where the project calls for precise, responsive cooking heat with clearly defined emissions into the space, and where the HVAC design has little spare capacity. It is less suitable as the only heat source in a very large production galley that relies on high thermal mass or flame‑based cooking, as there simply is not enough installed heat in a single position to carry that load by itself.
