RATIONAL Multifunctional Cooking System iVario Pro L – MarineLine, Electric, 100 litres

The iVario Pro L has a single 100-litre pan on a 2/1 GN cooking surface of 39 dm², rated for 100 to 300 meals a day. It is the deck-mounted multifunctional unit for crew galleys on larger vessels: soups, sauces and stocks, braising, pan-frying and deep-frying from one pan, with iZoneControl dividing the base into separate zones.

On board

The pan is raised by motor from the display, with additional safety while it is up, and cooking or cleaning water leaves through the integrated drain without tipping, which removes the need to pour hot liquid on a moving deck. iZoneControl divides the pan base into up to four zones at different temperatures, and areas not in use are not heated. Pressure cooking up to 300 mbar is available as an option.

Choosing the size

The next size, the iVario Pro XL, offers 150 litres of effective volume against 100 litres here, is rated for 100–500 meals a day and draws 41 kW on a 63 A fuse, compared with 27 kW on 40 A for this unit. The smaller iVario Pro 2-S weighs 132 kg to this unit's 196 kg and needs 6 kW less.

Connections

RATIONAL publishes 27 kW for the iVario Pro L on 3 N AC 400 V with a 40 A fuse. The marine voltage list covers 3 NAC 400 V and 415 V, 400 V Balanced Power, and 3 AC 200 V to 480 V without neutral conductor, 440 V included; without a neutral the unit has no integrated socket. Both 50 Hz and 60 Hz work. Power comes in through a metal fitting with a 1 1/2" (49 mm) external thread, water through R 3/4", and the drain is DN 50. Size: 1,030 mm wide, 894 mm deep, 608 mm (1,078 mm) high; weight 196 kg.

Marine installation

The iVario Pro L sits on a substructure with stainless steel feet, screwed or welded to the deck, and the iVario is DNV GL certified for safe galley installation. For SOLAS installations an optional safety temperature limiter signal can be wired to an external 230 V signalling device (max. 8 A, not included), which displays the voltage connection, flags oil overheating and allows shutdown from an external emergency stop.

We quote the iVario Pro L MarineLine to the vessel: supply voltage, deck fixing, SOLAS option and pan accessories are confirmed against the galley drawing before the order.
