Based on the heating engineering department of the institute, the All-Union Institute of Thermal and Hydraulic Power Equipment was founded in 1933. It was renamed as the Central Boiler Turbine Institute in 1935 and named after I. I. Polzunov in 1947. It received its current name in 1976 and became an open joint-stock company in 2001. The institute took part in developing and manufacturing power units for large heating and nuclear power plants, as well as high-power gas turbines, combined-cycle plants, and hydraulic turbines. A number of members of the academy worked at the institute in various years including M. V. Kirpichev, M. A. Mikheev, M. A. Styrikovich, I. N. Voznesensky, G. N. Kruzhilin, and S. S.
