History

UTW Ural Turbine Works was Founded on October 2, 1938.

Chronology of UTZ history

The plant changed its name over time, but the quality of its products remained consistently high:

1938 - 1948 – The Ural Turbine Works

1948 - 1976 – The Ural Turbine Motor Works

1976 - 2004 – The Turbine Motor Works

2004 - present – The Ural Turbine Works

The Ural Turbine Works has developed a number of landmark machines for the domestic power industry. The T-100, the most widespread turbine in the former USSR, the T-250, the reliable machine for power supply of large cities, as well as the T-295, the most powerful serial heating turbine for its replacement, the T-63, the efficient turbine for the combined cycle, as well as the power plants for modern nuclear icebreakers. Plant equipment is used in the countries of Eastern Europe, Italy, Egypt, Mongolia, China, Korea, India, and Japan.

The Products of the Ural turbine manufacturers are characterized by high reliability and durability from the beginning. The AT-12 is the first steam turbine with a capacity of 12 thousand kilowatts was assembled and tested in May 1941. Despite the fact that it was the first UTW turbine, it operated smoothly for 48 years.

Year after year, the plant increases the unit capacity of the steam turbines produced: 25, 50, 100(110), 135(140), 175(185), 250, 295 MW. A group of the plant's employees was awarded the USSR State Prize in 1951 and 1979 and the Lenin Prize in 1966 for mastering steam turbine production.

Currently, the UTW produces condensing and heating turbines for steam power plants, steam turbines for combined cycle power units, marine type turbines for ships equipped with nuclear power plants, develops power island equipment for waste incineration plants.
Today, the plant participates in the construction of new power units in Moscow, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Kaliningrad, Kazan, and other Russian cities, implements joint projects with energy companies in Mongolia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.

Facts

For over 80 years of operation, the plant has supplied 908 steam turbines (as of January 1, 2019) with a total capacity of more than 64 thousand MW to power plants in various countries. In addition, the plant has produced 573 different types of gas turbines.

50% of all heating turbines in Russia are produced by the UTW

Electricity and heating of Moscow are produced by the UTW turbines. 67 turbines produced in the Ural Region were shipped to Moscow, including 19 T-250 and 43 T-110 turbines. In 2017, the T-295 turbine was manufactured for the Moscow's TPP-22, and it is the recent development of the Russian turbine engineering school. Currently, 49 UTW turbines are operating in Moscow, which almost completely satisfies the demand of the capital for heat and electricity.

Three new-generation icebreakers - Arktika, Ural, and Sibir - are currently being built in Russia. These are the most powerful two-reactor icebreakers in the world. Low-pressure turbines for these icebreakers are manufactured by the Ural Turbine Works.

One of the most widespread steam turbines in the CIS is the T-100 (“sotka” (one hundred)), which is capable of supplying electricity and steam to a settlement of 100 thousand people. The plant team has been awarded the Lenin Prize for the development of this turbine design. Since 1961 to the present day, the Ural Turbine Works (formerly the TMW) has produced 246 turbines of the T-100 series of different modifications, launched in different years at TPPs and HEPPs in 11 countries.

In 2017, the Ural Turbine Works manufactured a T-295/335-23.5 steam turbine designed for the Moscow’s TPP-22. It is the world's most powerful heating turbine in terms of steam extraction. Its maximum capacity is 335 MW.

In April 1976, an earthquake occurred in the Uzbek gas workers city of Gazli. The city was in ruins, but the gas turbines (ГТ-6-750) of the Turbine Motor Works (now the Ural Turbine Works) continued to operate and properly pump gas.
