The originalGanz WorksorGanz(Hungarian:Ganz vállalatokorGanz Művek,Ganz companies,formerlyGanz and Partner Iron Mill and Machine Factory) operated between 1845 and 1949 inBudapest,Hungary. It was named afterÁbrahám Ganz,the founder and manager of the company. Ganz is probably best known for the manufacture oftramcars,but was also a pioneer in the application ofthree-phase alternating current to electric railways.

Ganz also made ships (through itsGanz Danubiusdivision), bridge steel structures (Ganz Acélszerkezet) and high-voltage equipment (Ganz Transelektro). In the early 20th century the company experienced its heyday and became the third-largest industrial enterprise in the Kingdom of Hungary after theManfréd Weiss Steel and Metal Worksand theMÁVAGcompany.

Since 1989, various parts of Ganz have been taken over by other companies.

History

edit
Abraham Ganz, founder

The company was founded byÁbrahám Ganzin 1844. He was invited toPest, Hungary,by CountIstván Széchenyiand became the casting master at theRoller Mill Plant(referred to asHengermalomin Hungarian). In 1854 he began manufacturing hard castrailroad wheelsin his own plant founded in 1844. The management of the steam mill paid a share of the profit to Ganz. This enabled him to buy, in 1844, land and a house for 4500 Forints in Víziváros, Buda castle district. Abraham Ganz built his own foundry on this site and started to work there with seven assistants. They made mostly casting products for the needs of the people of the city.[3] In 1845, he bought the neighbouring site and expanded his foundry with a cupola furnace. He gave his brother, Henrik a job as a clerk, because of the growing administration work. He made a profit in the first year, and his factory grew, even though he had not yet engaged in mass production. In 1846, at the third Hungarian Industrywork Exhibition (Magyar Iparmű Kiállítás), he introduced his stoves to the public. He won the silver medal of the exhibition committee and the bronze medaille from Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary.

During theHungarian Revolution of 1848the foundry made ten cannons and many cannonballs for the Hungarian army. Because of this, the Military Court of Austria impeached him. He got seven weeks in prison as penalty, but because of his Swiss citizenship he was acquitted of the charge.[3]

Ganz recognized that, to develop his factory, he had to make products that were mass-produced. In 1846 the Pest-Vác railway line was built. At that time, European foundries made wrought iron rims for spoked wagon wheels by pouring the casts in shapes in sand, and leaving them to cool down. He successfully developed arailway wheelcastingtechnology; it was the new method of "crust-casting" to produce cheap yet sturdy iron railway wheels, which greatly contributed to the rapid railway development in Central Europe. 86,074 pieces of hard cast wheels had been sold to 59 European railway companies until 1866. Consequently, this factory played an important role in building the infrastructure of the Hungarian Kingdom and theAustro-Hungarian Empire.[citation needed]At this time theagricultural machines,steam locomotives,pumps and therailway carriageswere the main products. At the beginning of the 20th century, 60 to 80% of the factory's products were sold for export.


After the death of Abraham Ganz, the heirs entrusted the management of the factory to his direct colleagues at Ganz Művek: Antal Eichleter, Ulrik Keller and Andreas Mechwart, which then took the name Ganz & Co. The Ganz family sold the company, which consisted of five departments, and in April 1869 it was transformed into a joint-stock company, and continued its operations under the name of "Ganz és Társa vasontöde és Gépgyár Rt." (Ganz & Partners Iron Foundry and Machine Factory Co.) The technical director was András Mechwart, under whose direction Ganz became one of the most important groups of machine building companies in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after 1869.

At the end of the 19th century, the products of theGanz and Partner Iron Mill and Machine Factory(hereinafter referred to asGanz Works) promoted the expansion ofalternating-currentpower transmissions.

Prominent engineers atGanz worksincludedAndrás Mechwart,Károly Zipernowsky,Miksa Déri,Ottó Titusz Bláthy,Kálmán Kandó,György JendrassikandErnő Wilczek.

Revolution in the milling industry

edit

The invention of the modern industrial mill (theroller mill) – byAndrás Mechwartin 1874 – guaranteed a solid technological superiority and revolutionized the world's milling industry. Budapest's milling industry grow the second largest in the world, behind the American Minneapolis. The Hungarian grain export increased by 66% within some years.[3]

Power plants, generators turbines and transformers

edit
The Hungarian"ZBD" Team:Miksa Déri,Ottó Bláthy,Károly Zipernowsky

In 1878, the company's general managerAndrás Mechwartfounded the Department of Electrical Engineering headed byKároly Zipernowsky.EngineersMiksa DériandOttó Bláthyalso worked at the department producingdirect-current machinesandarc lamps.

In 1878, the company began producing equipment for electric lighting and, by 1883, had installed over fifty systems in Austria-Hungary. Their AC systems used arc and incandescent lamps, generators, and other equipment.[4][5]

Generators

edit

The first turbo generators werewater turbineswhich droveelectric generators.The first Hungarian water turbine was designed by engineers of the Ganz Works in 1866. Mass production of dynamo generators started in 1883.[6]

The missing link of a full Voltage Sensitive/Voltage Intensive (VSVI) system was the reliablealternating currentconstant voltage generator. Therefore, the invention of the constant voltage generator by the Ganz Works in 1883[7]had a crucial role in the beginnings of industrial scale AC power generation, because only these type of generators can produce a stable output voltage, regardless of the actual load.[8]

Transformers

edit
first high efficiency transformer prototypes (1885; Széchenyi István Memorial Exhibition,Nagycenk,Hungary)

In cooperation, Zipernovsky, Bláthy and Déri (known as the ZBD team) constructed and patented thetransformer.The "transformer" was named by Ottó Titusz Bláthy. The three invented the first high efficiency, closed core shunt connection transformer. They also invented the modernpower distribution system:Instead of a series of connections they connected supply transformers in parallel to the main line.[9]

The transformer patents described two basic principles. Loads were to be connected in parallel, not in series as had been the general practice until 1885. Additionally, the inventors described the closed armature as an essential part of the transformer. Both factors assisted the stabilisation of voltage under varying load, and allowed definition of standard voltages for distribution and loads. The parallel connection and efficient closed core made construction of electrical distribution systems technically and economically feasible.

The Ganz Works built the first transformers using iron plating of enamelled mild iron wire, and started to use laminated cores to eliminateeddy currents[10]

AC Power stations

edit

In 1886, the ZBD engineers designed, and the company supplied, electrical equipment for the world's firstpower stationto use AC generators to power a parallel connected common electrical network. This was the Italian steam-powered Rome-Cerchi power plant.[11]

Following the introduction of the transformer, the Ganz Works changed over to production of alternating-current equipment. For instance, Rome's electricity was supplied by hydroelectric plant and long-distance energy transfer.[12]

Electricity meters

edit

The first mass-produced kilowatt-hour meter (electricity meter), based on HungarianOttó Bláthy's patent and named after him, was presented by the Ganz Works at the Frankfurt Fair in the autumn of 1889, and the company was marketing the first induction kilowatt-hour meter by the end of the year. These were the first alternating-current wattmeters, known by the name of Bláthy-meters.[13]

Industrial refrigerators and air conditioners

edit

In 1894, Hungarian inventor and industrialistIstván Röckstarted to manufacture a large industrial ammonia refrigerator (together with the Esslingen Machine Works) which was powered by Ganz electric compressors. At the 1896 Millennium Exhibition, Röck and the Esslingen Machine Works presented a 6-tonne capacity artificial ice producing plant. In 1906, the first large Hungarian cold store (with a capacity of 3,000 tonnes, the largest in Europe) opened in Tóth Kálmán Street, Budapest, the machine was manufactured by the Ganz Works. Until nationalisation after the Second World War, large-scale industrial refrigerator production in Hungary was in the hands of Röck and Ganz Works.[14]

The contract between Ganz and Egypt in the 1930s played a key role in the development of cooling equipment: railcars delivered to Egypt were equipped with air-conditioning cooling systems. The collective of the Ganz factory (machine designers: Gábor Hollerung, Rezső Oláh, István Pfeifer, Prónai) designed and built the 3-cylinder, 20 kW compressors with freon refrigerant, air condenser and evaporator. The machine could also be converted to heat pump operation.[15]

ICE engines and vehicles

edit

The beginning ofgas enginemanufacturing in Hungary is linked toDonát BánkiandJános Csonkabut it is not clear that they ever worked for Ganz.

Ganz produced engines whose designs were licensed to Western European partners, notably in the United Kingdom and Italy.

The Ganz Company started to constructsteam locomotivesandsteam railcarsfrom the 1860s. Between 1901 and 1908, Ganz Works of Budapest andde Dion-Boutonof Paris collaborated to build a number of railcars for the Hungarian State Railways together with units with de Dion-Bouton boilers, Ganz steam motors and equipments, and Raba carriages built by theRaba Hungarian Wagon and Machine FactoryinGyőr.In 1908, the Borzsavölgyi Gazdasági Vasút (BGV), anarrow-gauge railwayinCarpathian Ruthenia(today's Ukraine), purchased five railcars from Ganz and four railcars from the Hungarian Royal State Railway Machine Factory with de Dion-Bouton boilers. The Ganz company started to exportsteam motorrailcars to the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Japan, Russia and Bulgaria.[16][17][18]

The World's first electrified main railway line in Italy
edit
Main articles:FS Class E.430andFS Class E.360

The Ganz Works, having identified the significance ofinduction motorsandsynchronous motors,commissionedKálmán Kandóto develop them. In 1894, Hungarian engineer Kálmán Kandó developed high-voltagethree-phase AC motors and generatorsforelectric locomotives.The first-ever electric rail vehicle manufactured by Ganz Works was a 6 HP pit locomotive with direct current traction system. The first Ganz madeasynchronousrail vehicles (altogether 2 pieces) were supplied in 1898 toÉvian-les-Bains(France) with a 37 HP asynchronous traction system. The Ganz Works won the tender for electrification of theValtellinaRailway in Italy in 1897. Under the management, and on the basis of plans from Kálmán Kandó, three phase electric power at 3 kV and 15 Hz was fed through two upper wires and the rails.

The electricity was produced in a dedicated power station and the system operated for thirty years from 1902. Italian railways were the first in the world to introduce electric traction for the entire length of a main line rather than just a short stretch. The 106 km Valtellina line was opened on 4 September 1902, designed by Kandó and a team from the Ganz works.[19][20]The voltage was significantly higher than used earlier and it required new designs for electric motors and switching devices.[21][22]The three-phase two-wire system was used on several railways in Northern Italy and became known as "the Italian system". Kandó was invited in 1905 to undertake the management of Società Italiana Westinghouse and led the development of several Italian electric locomotives.[21]

Invention of the Phase Converter
edit

In 1918,[23]Kandó invented and developed therotary phase converter,enabling electric locomotives to use three-phase motors whilst supplied via a single overhead wire, carrying the simple industrial frequency (50 Hz) single phase AC of the high-voltage national networks.[20] AfterWorld War I,at the Ganz Works, Kálmán Kandó constructed a single-phase electric railway system using 16 kV at 50 Hz. A similar system, but using15 kV at 16.7 Hz,later became widely used in Europe. The main attribute of Kandó's 50 Hz system was that it was fed by the normal power network, so dedicated railway power stations became unnecessary. Because of the early death of Kálmán Kandó,László Verebélÿcontinued the work for theHungarian State Railways(MÁV).[24]

In 1959 Ganz merged with theMÁVAGcompany and was renamedGanz-MÁVAG. In 1976 Ganz-Mávag supplied tenstandard gauge3-car diesel trainset to theHellenic Railways Organisation(OSE), designated as Class AA-91 and fourmetre gauge4-car trainsets, designated as Class A-6451. In 1981/82 Ganz-Mávag supplied to OSE 11 B-B diesel-hydraulic DHM7-9 locomotives, designated as class A-251. Finally, in 1983, OSE bought eleven 3-car metre gauge trainsets, designated as Class A-6461. All these locomotives and trainsets have been withdrawn with the exception of one standard and one metre gauge trainset.[citation needed]

In 1982/83 Ganz-Mávag supplied an order forelectric multiple unitstoNew Zealand Railways Corporationfor Wellington suburban services. The order was made in 1979, and was for 44 powered units and 44 trailer units, seeNew Zealand EM class electric multiple unit.[citation needed]

Ganz-MÁVAG Trams

edit

Ganz-MÁVAGdelivered 29 trams (2 car sets) toAlexandria, Egyptfrom 1985 to 1986.[25]

Shipbuilding, Ganz - Danubius

edit

In 1911, the Ganz Company merged with theDanubius shipbuilding company,which was the largest shipbuilding company in Hungary. From 1911, the unified company adopted the"Ganz–Danubius"brand name. In the beginning of the 20th century the company had 19 shipyards on the Danube and the Adriatic Sea in the city of Rijeka and Pula.[26] As Ganz Danubius, the company became involved in shipbuilding before, and during,World War I.Ganz was responsible for building the dreadnoughtSMSSzent István,all of theNovara-class cruisers,and built diesel-electricU-boatsat its shipyard in Budapest, for final assembly atFiume.Several U-boats of theU-XXIX class,U-XXX class,U-XXXI classandU-XXXII classwere completed,[27]A number of other types were laid down, but remained incomplete at the war's end.[28]By the end of the First World War, 116 naval vessels had been built by The Ganz-Danubius company. The company also produces transatlantic ocean liners for passenger lines Trieste - New York, Trieste - Montevideo, as a reflection of already formed wave of mass migration from Central Europe to America.

Aircraft

edit
Main article:UFAG

The first Hungarian "aeroplane factory" (UFAG) was founded by the Ganz Company andWeiss-ManfrédWorks in 1912. During World War I, the company made many types ofAlbatrosandFokkerfighter planes.

Before 1919, the company builtocean liners,dreadnoughttypebattleshipsandsubmarines,power plants,automobiles[29][30]and many types of fighter aircraft.[31]

The world's firstturbopropengine was theJendrassik Cs-1designed by the Hungarian mechanical engineerGyörgy Jendrassik.It was built and tested in the Ganz factory in Budapest between 1939 and 1942. It was planned to be fitted to the Varga RMI-1 X/H twin-engined reconnaissance bomber designed by László Varga in 1940, but the program was cancelled. Jendrassik had also designed a small-scale 75 kW turboprop in 1937.[citation needed]

After World War II

edit

In 1947, the Ganz Works was nationalised and in 1949 it became independent and six big companies came into existence, including the Ganz Transformer Factory. In 1959, Ganz Wagon and Machine Factory merged with theMÁVAGLocomotive and Machine Factory under the name of Ganz-MÁVAG Locomotive, Wagon and Machine Works. Of the products of the Works, outstanding results were shown in the field of the manufacture ofdiesel railcarsandmultiple units.Traditional products includedtramcarsas well, and customers included the tramway network of Budapest. In the meantime the Foundry workshop was closed down.

In 1974, the locomotive and wagon Works were merged under the name of Railway Vehicle Factory and then the machine construction branch went through significant development. The production of industrial and apartment houseliftsbecame a new branch. Ganz-MÁVAG took over a lot of smaller plants in the 1960s and 1970s and their product range was extended. Among other things, they increased their bridge-building capacity. They made iron structures for severalTiszabridges, for theErzsébet Bridgein Budapest, for public road bridges in Yugoslavia and for several industrial halls.

The Ganz Shipyard experienced its most productive times during the four decades following nationalisation. In the course of this period 1100 ship units were produced, the number of completed seagoing ships was 240 and that of floating cranes was 663. As a result of the great economic and social crises of the 1980s, Ganz-MÁVAG had to be reorganised. The company was transformed into seven independent Works and threejoint ventures.

Ganz since 1989

edit

In 1989, the British company Telfos Holdings gained a majority of the shares in Ganz Railway Vehicle Factory Co. Ltd. and the name of the company was changed to Ganz-Hunslet Co. Ltd. In the course of 1991 and 1992, the Austrian companyJenbacher Werkeobtained 100% of the company's shares and consequently the railway vehicle factory is now a member of the international railway vehicle manufacturing group, Jenbacher Transport Systeme. At present, the Ganz Electric Works, under the name of Ganz-Ansaldo is a member of the Italian industrial giant,AnsaldoBreda.The Ganz Works were transformed into holdings. Ganz-Danubius was wound up in 1994. The Ganz Electric Meter Factory in Gödöllő became the member of the international Schlumberger group.

In 2006, the power transmission and distribution sectors of Ganz Transelektro were acquired byCrompton Greaves,[32]but still doing business under the Ganz brand name, while the unit dealing with electric traction (propulsion and control systems for electric vehicles) was acquired byŠkoda Transportationand is now a part ofŠkoda Electric.[33]

Now the plant is operated by a new investor as a tenant, Ganz Transformer Motor and Manufacturing Ltd., after the previous owner was unable to finance the production.[34]
