15, 30, and 60 pounds per hour of frozen vegetables are 1.9 kW, 3.0 kW, and
4.1 kW, respectively. For an operation cooking an average of 15 pounds of
frozen vegetables per hour over the course of the day (e.g., 150 pounds of
food over a ten hour day), the probable demand contribution from this steamer
would be 1.9 kW.
Note:
Light-load = single pan/load; Heavy-load = 6 pans/load.
