MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI051XQP5 – Electric, Induction

350 W of sensible heat and 140 W of latent heat emission define how lightly the MKN 7EHEI051XQP5 loads a marine galley. Those are the figures the HVAC designer will drop into the room balance when deciding whether this module can sit on an existing cooking line without revisiting extraction or chilled-water capacity.

On board, thermal load is often more constraining than footprint. A module that releases 350 W as sensible heat and 140 W as latent into the surrounding space can usually be absorbed into a pantry, back-up line or finishing station without driving local air temperatures and humidity to the point where comfort or food safety become hard to maintain. In small enclosed galleys this matters, because every watt rejected to room air is a watt the vessel has to move back out again with fans, coils and compressors.

The working area is specified as a ceramic plate with 1 zone. In practice that gives a single, clearly defined cooking point that is straightforward to position between other modules, cold wells or pass counters without having to allow for multiple pans. One zone also simplifies operating routines: there is no uncertainty about which area is live, and no partial loading of extra zones that then contribute unnecessary background heat to the room. Where the line already includes larger multi-zone bodies, this plate can act as a dedicated position for one pan that needs close attention.

From the engineering perspective, the two emission values describe how the module interacts with the surrounding plant over time. The 350 W sensible component raises room temperature and will be the figure carried into air-change and cooling-coil calculations. The 140 W latent component tells the designer how much moisture this station contributes to the humidity load when it runs under typical duty. Having both numbers published makes it possible to compare this module transparently with other heat sources on the same deck.

Build and control

• Ceramic plate working area with 1 induction zone
• IP-rated water protection

This module suits applications where a single induction point with known and relatively low heat release into the room is required, such as a finishing plate on a serving counter or a supplementary hob in a compact pantry. It is the wrong choice where production relies on several pans or large stockpots running in parallel; in that case, a broader-body induction or other multi-position appliance from the same manufacturer should be specified instead.
