MKN Induction Cooking Table 7EHEI051DWP8 – Wok, Electric, 8 kW

8 kW of installed electrical power on a single wok position defines the 7EHEI051DWP8 induction cooking table as a focused high-output station. Latent and sensible heat emissions are quoted at 224 W and 560 W respectively, which is a small figure compared with the load going into the pan.

On board, that split between cooking power and emitted heat matters to the HVAC calculation as much as to the chef. A wok range that sheds 224 W of latent and 560 W of sensible heat keeps more of its 8 kW inside the vessel and less in the galley air, which reduces the burden on the ventilation and chilled water plant around it. With an electrical supply rated for 380–415 V, the unit can be specified directly onto typical shipboard three-phase systems without step-down transformers or ad hoc adaptations.

The wok configuration, combined with the hinged lid, gives this table a clear role in a compact hot line: fast à la minute work when the lid is open, and controlled holding or reduced vapour release when it is closed. Induction’s tight coupling between the coil and the wok base is what allows the 8 kW rating to be translated into rapid response at the pan without the long heat-up and cool-down times associated with traditional electric plates. For the naval architect, the published latent and sensible heat emissions provide concrete input values when checking that the hood and make-up air system above the cooking line will handle both the moisture and the temperature rise from the appliance.

Compliance with DIN 18851 anchors the construction in a recognised commercial kitchen standard, which is important when plans go through review and approval. It means the unit’s geometry and hygiene characteristics are aligned with professional galley expectations, rather than being an adapted domestic wok station. The 380–415 V electrical supply range also simplifies integration into the distribution board, since the voltage band matches common marine practice and avoids running a special feed just for this position.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

The combination of 8 kW power, controlled heat emissions and IP-rated water protection makes this wok table a good fit for enclosed galleys where cleaning is aggressive and ventilation capacity is finite. It is less suited to a line that needs multiple cooking zones in one footprint, because this model concentrates its rating into a single wok position rather than spreading it across several burners.
