UEC will supply shipbuilders with about 20 M90FR gas turbine engines

Russian shipbuilders performing a government contract for the construction of ships for the Naval fleet RF, will receive about 20 gas turbine engines (GTE) M90FR. The deliveries will be carried out by the United Engine Corporation (UEC).

The press service of the corporation, on the eve of the opening of the International Maritime Defense Show (IMDS-2021) in St. Petersburg, reported that today the planned volume of deliveries of M90FR gas turbine engines for ships under construction for the Russian fleet is about 20 units. At the same time, it is emphasized that the delivery will take place on time and in full.

At the same time, as he said in an interview TASS Deputy General Director of the corporation Victor Polyakov, UEC has already developed a modification of the M90FR engine. According to him, currently two engines have been manufactured, they have passed the necessary tests and are ready to be handed over to the customer. It is planned that this modification will be installed on promising corvettes of the 20386 project.

At the same time, the corporation is working to create a new 25 MW marine engine based on the M90FR. According to the deputy general director - general designer of the UEC Yuri Shmotin, a power plant of increased power (34 thousand hp) is being created. The corporation plans to develop ship engines with a capacity of 25-35 MW and 13 MW.

United Engine Corporation (UEC)

Does UEC supply gearboxes, or is it a separate production? And then, without gearboxes, the picture is not so joyful.

Presumably, the gearboxes are included in the scope of delivery.

[Machito]

20 engines is good. But in what time frame? A year, two, ten years? What about turbines and gearboxes?

[PN]

Duck is a gas turbine engine. Or are you interested in steam rooms? There are no problems with them, Kaluga is building.

[For example]

It is planned that this modification will be installed on promising corvettes of the 20386 project.

Schizophrenia.
They will not understand how. Either to the morgue, or to the future.

Either the news is old, or the VO moderators are on strike ...

Klimov simply did not inform them that the project 20386 was also abandoned. Here they are working on the components for him, finishing the project, and so on. And as Klimov gets to them, they immediately realize everything.
But in fact, everything is simple. Corvette 20386, like the first Lada "St. Petersburg", is a highly technological project. There are many knots there that have not yet been tested. PM, like the first Lada, and 20386 after delivery will go for some time in trial operation. If he confirms his performance characteristics, he will immediately go into the series. If not, they will refine it. Well, in the meantime, Lada went in trial operation, Varshavyanka was purchased. The situation with corvettes is very similar.

B-585 has been under testing for the twelfth year. Is it too many trials, or is there something wrong with the nodes?
The "Roman god of trade" is also for this, so they build "on experiments"?

If he confirms his performance characteristics, he will immediately go into the series.

What a quick you are though. After the head order, the first serial order follows the new tradition. And it's not a fact that it looks a lot like the head one. And what will happen next, who knows ...

[g1v2]

He did not just walk - the project was being finalized based on his experience. And now Kronstadt is decently different from him. Now St. Petersburg has been driven into modernization to the level of the frets under construction.

[moody]

God grant that now Kronstadt will not be "experimentally exploited" for another 10 years.

[Alex777]

Klimov simply did not inform them that the project 20386 was also abandoned.

Yeah. Typical wrong:

It is planned that this modification will be installed on promising corvettes 20386 project.

And all to the fact that 20386 is more alive than dead.
What I don’t understand is why, while scolding Mercury, Klimov constantly posts photos of the Daring.
And the difference between them is very significant, in favor of Mercury in all respects.

Corvette 20386, like the first Lada "St. Petersburg", is a highly technological project.

If in the end my assumptions are confirmed, then its manufacturability will be much higher than Lada.

[Barberry25]

The six will not go into the series in its current form, it is more likely that 20385 will be developed in the form of some 20388 with outlines from 20386 ..

[poputchik]

god has many days

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Not 20, but about twenty. The same specifics as with the timing! Everything is about and maybe!

[Romario_Argo]

initially the calculation was at least 6-8 gas turbine engines per year - 20 gas turbine engines are just fantastic
probably it general option for 20 GTE

[musorg]

Gearboxes are made by PJSC "Zvezda", not UEC.

[Mountain shooter]

Great, one problem was overcome (from 404 it jumped). But what about this?
https://topwar.ru/184158-prozhekt-20386-veselo-vesele-tjazhelo-pohmele.html
Are these turbines only for project 20386? Or can they be used in other ships as well?

M22350FR engines are already installed on frigates of project 90 as afterburners.

[rocket757]

UEC will supply shipbuilders with about 20 M90FR gas turbine engines

... While the fleet is growing, updating, orders for propulsion systems will be.
The question is simple .... how much money will be spent on DEVELOPMENT, RENEWAL of production, i.e. for the future?

[tralflot1832]

This is how the news works that criminal cases have been opened against four top managers of Zvezda.

[donavi49]

So it doesn't change anything. They could always perform at the level, we will build as many turbines as the fleet orders. At least 1000 pieces.

[S. Smirnov]

No specifics ... When will it be delivered? In two years? For ten?

[donavi49]

So you don't really need them. One thing is Star's unparalleled 112-cylinder diesels, under which boxes were riveted and sit waiting for years, inflating the estimate of orders.

Series 22350 was frozen, so there is no special queue. Golovko has already received it. Isakov gets it. That is, in fact, in order not to disrupt the deadlines, it is necessary to ship 2 turbines and a gearbox (there are no problems with diesel locomotives and never have been).

The updated 22350 is still in the stage of forming the hulls and the turbine will be required there by the year 23. In the 22nd year, the UEC can generally work for a warehouse.

[fiberboard]

So yesterday the article was that 20386 corvettes cover up. They cost like a frigate and even more expensive. It was written that they were being transferred to a training ship.

[donavi49]

Experienced. In general, there is one really important and useful feature on Mercury, which is being implemented for the first time in the fleet - an electric ship.

Realistically, only an electric ship today provides effective boat detection. And this technology is actively used by everyone. Starting from the Chinese and Europeans, ending with Koreans, although it may seem, why, they will hear Kim's roaring cows, even if they put a 112 cylinder monster from the Star there. The Navy will sooner or later have to write off the Albatrosses. Also, objectively today, they are practically useless along the PLO line - search only with muffled vehicles. The new PLO corvette must have an electric ship.

[Castro Ruiz]

I totally agree. An electric vehicle (a combination of a diesel - an electric motor or a turbine - an electric motor) is necessary for a modern PLO ship.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Not educational, but experienced.

That is, new systems and new tactics of application will be developed on it.

It is a reasonable decision.

[Zaurbek]

Here the article was not so long ago ... about the fact that one set - Turbine + gearbox in the Russian Federation has been made for 1 year. This is the 4th five-year plan?

[Roma 1977]

If you start building one, then in a year there will be one. If you start building 20 at once, it will be 20 in a year.

[Zaurbek]

So in the article the capacities of the plant (s) were given ... and one turbine unit with a gearbox / year turned out

[Oleg Aviator]

It's good. Still, more good engineers of the old school would be taken from Nikolaev. Although most likely they have already left.

[Nastia makarova]

left and a very long time ago, before 2014

[Ros 56]

Now, if they wrote - they installed 20 marine engines, that would be NEWS. And so we are waiting, sir.

[senima56]

Come on, guys! We were longing for domestic engines!

[Castro Ruiz]

Without a serious increase in the release of the turbine gearboxes to the warehouse.

[Tonpengof]

Somewhere in Ukraine, "effective" felt sad ....

[xASPIDx]

If we have launched a complete set, then this is news

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Well, not bad, things are moving forward.
