RATIONAL Multifunctional Cooking System iVario Pro 2-S – MarineLine, Electric, 2 × 25 litres

The iVario Pro 2-S has two independent 25-litre pans on 1/1 GN cooking surfaces, rated for 50 to 100 meals a day. It boils, fries and deep-fries, with iZoneControl and low-temperature cooking as standard and pressure cooking as an option. On a vessel it can replace several conventional units in a line where every metre counts.

On board

The two pans work independently: one can sear while the other simmers a sauce. RATIONAL's iVarioBoost heating, ceramic elements connected to the pan base, brings a pan to 200 °C in under 90 seconds and absorbs the drop in temperature when cold food or liquid goes in. In manual mode the pans boil from 30 °C, pan-fry up to 250 °C and deep-fry up to 180 °C. iZoneControl and low-temperature cooking are standard, and pressure cooking up to 300 mbar is an option.

Choosing the size

The next size, the iVario Pro L, offers 100 litres of effective volume against 2 × 25 litres here, is rated for 100–300 meals a day and draws 27 kW on a 40 A fuse, compared with 21 kW on 32 A for this unit. The smaller iVario 2-XS weighs 117 kg to this unit's 132 kg and needs 7 kW less.

Connections

At 3 N AC 400 V the iVario Pro 2-S is rated at 21 kW on a 32 A fuse. Ships running 440 V or 480 V are covered too: RATIONAL lists 3 AC 200 V to 480 V without neutral conductor (no integrated socket in that case) alongside 3 NAC 400 V and 415 V, at 50 or 60 Hz. The electrical entry is a metal connection with a 1 1/2" (49 mm) thread; water connects at R 3/4" and drains at DN 40. The unit takes 1,100 mm by 938 mm of deck, stands 482 mm (1,080 mm) high and weighs 132 kg.

Marine installation

As delivered the iVario Pro 2-S stands on 90 mm plastic feet; for sea it goes either onto a table with attachment kit Art. 60.76.118 or onto MarineLine stand unit Art. 60.31.702, 1,100 × 876 × 595 mm W × D × H, with stainless steel feet screwed or welded to the deck. DNV GL has certified the iVario for galley installation. The optional SOLAS signal safety temperature limiter connects to an external 230 V signalling device (max. 8 A, not supplied) to show the voltage connection, warn of oil overheating and let an external emergency stop shut the unit down.
