MKN Cooking Module 7EPST022XM – Electric

Seventy-five litres of capacity on a single module defines the MKN 7EPST022XM as a medium-volume boiling and cooking unit for a main galley line. With 13.3 kW of electrical power on a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply, it is sized for continuous service rather than occasional reheating.

On board, that combination of 75 litres and 158 kg net weight means this is a fixed piece of equipment that will be anchored into the galley layout and the ship’s electrical design from the start. The published supply of 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz needs to be matched against the vessel’s distribution system; where the main switchboard runs at other voltages or frequencies, the yard has to confirm the integration. Sensible heat emission of 5,985 W is also a design input for the HVAC calculation, not a detail to leave on the catering schedule.

The 75-litre capacity in a GN 2/1 compatible well gives a clear planning basis for batch cooking on a vessel with regular meal cycles. It can hold a full GN 2/1 container and still leave headroom for boiling or simmering, which is useful when menus and loading plans are built around standard container sizes. At 158 kg, the unit adds a known point load to the deck; naval architects and outfitters can use that figure directly when checking deck reinforcement and any plinth or coaming design.

Electrical power of 13.3 kW on this footprint puts the module into the same power band as other primary cooking appliances in a ship’s galley. That level of connection requires dedicated breakers and cabling, and it will normally be fed from a cooking distribution board rather than a light-duty service panel. The quoted sensible heat emission of 5,985 W gives the HVAC engineer a number to plug into the galley extraction and make-up air model, so the thermal load from this well is handled predictably alongside ovens, fryers and other modules.

Using 1.4404 (AISI 316L) stainless steel for all wetted parts addresses the exposure to chlorides from both salted food and cleaning chemicals. In service, that choice matters more than general external sheet grade, because the kettle interior and any integrated fittings are where corrosion would first appear. Radiused internal corners support the same hygiene objective by reducing soil traps and simplifying wash-down routines between services. The hinged lid keeps condensate and heat inside the well during cooking, which cuts both energy use and stray humidity in the galley, and it makes it easier to control conditions during long cooking cycles.

This module is the right choice where a galley needs a dedicated 75-litre boiling or cooking position integrated into a line that already runs on 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz. It is less suitable for very small galleys that would struggle to use 75 litres per batch, or for ships whose electrical infrastructure cannot readily supply 13.3 kW per position.
