MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI082DF8 – Electric, Induction

Sixteen kilowatts of installed electrical power on the 7EHEI082DF8 gives this induction module the headroom for high-output cooking on a compact footprint. The unit is specified for 380–415 V supply, so it can be ordered directly against common shipboard three-phase distributions without adaptation.

On board, electrical compatibility and thermal load into the galley often matter as much as cooking performance. Being rated for 380–415 V means the 7EHEI082DF8 can be integrated into a vessel’s existing switchboard and protection scheme without non-standard transformers. Its hinged lid and IP-rated water protection support the wash-down regimes that are normal in marine galleys, where equipment is exposed to frequent cleaning and to damp, salt-laden air rather than the controlled environment of a shore kitchen.

The module’s 16 kW rating allows it to serve as a primary cooking position in a line where several induction bodies share a common electrical feed, or as a focused high-power station for tasks that demand fast heat transfer. Because the manufacturer publishes latent and sensible heat emissions at 448 W and 1120 W respectively, naval architects and HVAC designers can treat those numbers as part of the ventilation and air-conditioning calculation instead of working from generic allowances. That transparency is useful when several such modules share the same galley and the combined gain must be absorbed by the cooling plant.

Heat emission figures of 448 W latent and 1120 W sensible place this unit in a range where it contributes noticeably to room load but remains manageable in a conditioned space. The hinged lid gives the galley team control over vapour and splashes at the cooking surface itself, limiting the spread of steam and aerosols into the room and onto adjacent equipment. IP-rated water protection, combined with that lid, means the unit is built to withstand exposure to cleaning water in line with marine practice, rather than requiring careful shielding during wash-down.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

This induction module is a good fit where a designer needs 16 kW of focused cooking power on a 380–415 V distribution and has HVAC capacity planned around the quoted 448 W latent and 1120 W sensible heat emissions. It is less suitable for very small galleys with limited electrical headroom or where lower heat output to the room is a critical design constraint and overall installed power must be kept to a minimum.
