MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI051XQP8B – Electric, Induction

280 W of latent heat and 700 W of sensible heat is a modest HVAC load for a cooking position, and that figure is what defines the MKN 7EHEI051XQP8B in a marine galley layout. This electric induction module concentrates its working area into a single ceramic plate zone, so it delivers focused cooking capacity without pushing air-conditioning or extraction to the limit.

On board, every watt shed into a sealed galley has to be removed again by the ventilation and chilled-water plant. Knowing that this module releases 280 W of latent and 700 W of sensible heat allows the designer to slot it into an Optima or similar line without guesswork on the thermal balance. A single-zone ceramic plate is also easier to allocate in a compact servery, crew galley or front-cooking station where one pan position is enough and deck length is constrained.

The working area is a ceramic plate with 1 zone, which suits focused tasks such as finishing, á la carte pans or a dedicated kettle point, rather than bulk multi-pot production. As an induction unit it keeps heat where it is needed — in the pan above the zone — and that shows directly in the quoted heat emission figures. Lower room heat load reduces the risk of temperature stratification around the line and simplifies compliance with the HVAC assumptions taken at plan-review stage.

For the electrical engineer, the key values on this module’s schedule are again the latent heat emission of 280 W and the sensible heat emission of 700 W. Those numbers, combined with the rest of the line-up, drive the ventilation volume and cooling coil selection as much as the main switchboard calculation. The single-zone ceramic plate working area also means the operator pattern is predictable: one pan at a time rather than a bank of pots, which makes it easier to correlate real cooking duty with the published heat-shed values.

Build and control

• Ceramic plate working area with 1 induction zone
• IP-rated water protection for spray-down cleaning and marine use

This is the right module where the requirement is a single induction position with tightly controlled heat emission, for example in a compact galley, small servery, or as a finishing plate in a larger suite. It is not the right choice where multiple large pans have to be on the boil simultaneously; in that case a wider multi-zone body from the same line should be specified.
