MKN Cooking Module 7EHEI084XP3 – Electric, Induction

Latent heat emission is declared at 392 W on the MKN 7EHEI084XP3, with a corresponding sensible heat emission of 980 W. Those two figures shape how this four-zone ceramic induction module sits in a marine galley: the thermal load on the HVAC system is quantified up front, not left to guesswork.

On board, the combination of a compact working area and known heat output simplifies integration into a line such as an Optima block or a custom suite. Induction already puts less uncontrolled heat into the room than traditional radiant hobs, and here the 392 W latent and 980 W sensible values give the designer hard numbers to fold into extraction and cooling calculations. For a closed galley with no natural ventilation, that is often as important as the cooking performance itself. IP-rated water protection is equally relevant at sea, where cleaning is done with hoses and spray rather than light wiping and where stray splashes are routine in heavy weather.

The working area is a ceramic plate divided into 4 zones. That gives a clear footprint for pans and a continuous surface that is easy to wipe down between services. As a module this can sit alongside other electric or gas appliances in a planned run, with the four zones providing flexibility for different pan sizes without the breaks and dirt traps of separate hotplates. The ceramic surface also supports the usual induction advantage of a cooler surrounding area, because energy is transferred directly into the base of induction-compatible cookware.

From an engineering standpoint, the published latent and sensible heat emissions inform more than just air conditioning loads. Extraction hoods, make-up air and any nearby temperature-sensitive equipment can be specified around the 392 W and 980 W figures, so that the galley performs as intended under continuous use. Knowing in advance that the unit carries IP-rated water protection also helps the shipyard and catering contractor align with hygiene expectations where regular wash-downs are part of the operating routine.

Build and control

• Ceramic plate working area with 4 induction zones
• IP-rated water protection for use in wet cleaning regimes
• Published latent heat emission of 392 W for HVAC sizing
• Published sensible heat emission of 980 W for HVAC and extraction design

This module suits vessels that want induction performance with clearly defined thermal emissions and a smooth ceramic surface, for example in a compact main galley or a specialty station where four zones are sufficient. It is not the right choice where open-flame cooking is a menu requirement, or where the galley plan calls for a larger single cooking surface rather than four distinct zones.
