Japanese USC-PC units successfully operate with steam temperatures of 610°C (1130°F). IHI is developing the next generation of USC-PC boilers, targeting 620°C (1150°F) for improved efficiency. Investigations are underway for even higher 700°C (1290°F) steam temperatures. IHI collaborates with turbine manufacturers to create reliable and efficient boiler-turbine packages for both new and existing power plants.
