CONTAINERIZED KITCHEN (WITH TRAILER)
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
The mechanical room, Figure 5, houses the CK's utility components. These include the
generator, air conditioners, ECU controller, MBU converter, electrical distribution panels and
ventilation fans. The generator is mounted on the floor, with the air conditioners and ventilation
fans mounted above. An extension pipe routes the engine exhaust to the outside. A second
extension directs the engine radiator cooling air to the outside through a cloth duct. Cloth ducts
also route the ventilation system exhaust fan discharge and the air conditioner condenser
cooling air to the outside.

Figure 5. Mechanical Room.
Exterior doors provide access to the mechanical room for installation, removal, and
maintenance of the utility systems. These doors seal the mechanical room from external
environmental conditions such as rain, sand, dust and salt spray during transport. They must
remain open while in the operational mode to provide for generator and ventilation system
exhaust. A foldout awning, stored in the mechanical room, can be deployed across the top of
the open doors to provide protection from rain, sand, and dust.
Controls for the ECU, cook center ventilation, and MBU power are located on the food
preparation side of the mechanical room wall, near the cook center. An access door with a
transparent window, located in the bottom portion of the wall, provides access to generator's
control and malfunction indicator panels.
