One of the world’s largest Antonov 124-100 aircraft, an 84-tonne diesel engine manufactured and overhauled in Karlovac’s Adriadiesel, was shipped from Zagreb on Sunday and will be returned to the Smolensk nuclear power plant.

The engine was delivered to Croatia in August with the same type of aircraft.

Adriadiesel is a manufacturer of this type of motor, which is used to produce electricity in the event of a breakdown and power outage in nuclear power plants. These are four-stroke, medium-speed diesel V engines with 6,600 kW rotating pistons at 600 rpm.

Such generator engines were the last to shut down after the 1984 Chernobyl reactor explosion. They got involved and worked for a few days and then stopped due to a fuel outage.

Adriadiesel board member Tomislav Varga told Hina that the company, with 150 employees, repairs and services emergency engines, producing parts for ADRIA 40 engines, and that it started producing earlier models in the 1970s inside Jugoturbina, and now 50 mainly in Russia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Adriadiesel is also developing diesel generator sets for new markets for data centers, hospitals, kindergartens and hotels, and intends to include both military and government centers.

One month before the agreed deadline, the service of the diesel engine from the Smolensk nuclear power plant in Russia was completed in Karlovac. It is a spare engine that was produced in Karlovac 40 years ago, and was delivered for regular service this summer.

However, due to a closure accident, the Antonov 124-100 aircraft that came to pick him up did not take off for Russia today. Just before takeoff, the landing gear broke. Takeoff was delayed until the malfunction was repaired.

After three months in the Karlovac service, the 84-ton diesel engine left the Adriadiesel plant last night. This is, says member of the Management Board of Adriadiesel Boris Tolić – a very extensive job in which all parts of the company are involved, from engineering, procurement, controlling, assembly and machining. The Karlovac company is one of the seven in the world that produce such engines. They have agreed deals worth about 70 million euros for the next few years.

And when it all seemed over, an accident happened when the plane closed. The landing gear of one of the largest aircraft in the world cracked. Although our company performed the service before the planned deadline, it seems that the engine will not reach the final destination, the Russian nuclear power plant, so quickly.

On Monday, 19.08. from NPP Smolensk in Russia, an engine manufactured in the Adriadiesel factory, former Jugoturbina, was delivered for overhaul 42 years ago.

After 42 years, the time has come for a complete overhaul of this 84-tonne engine, and the said overhaul should be completed by the end of the year.

Since its inception, Adriadiesel has delivered a total of 80 such engines, mostly in the Eastern Bloc of Europe.

It is a 600 kW engine at 50 rpm, which was produced in 1978 under the license of the Swiss Sulzer as part of Jugoturbina’s Diesel Engine Factory.

The engine has been running continuously for 42 years, and now the time has come for a complete overhaul.

In accordance with Art. 550.g paragraph 2 of the Companies Act, Plan for the division of the company ADRIADIESEL d.d. with the establishment of the new company ADRIADIESEL GREEN ENERGY joint stock company for the construction and overhaul of sustainable energy plants was published on the company’s website from which it can be downloaded free of charge.

By the end of the year, the EU plans to announce 4 innovation tenders worth as much as 1.5 billion kuna.
