Once-through Boilers
Overview
Once-through boilers are able to produce steam at higher pressures and temperatures than drum boilers.
In thermal power plants, raising steam conditions (pressure and temperature) can enable efficiency gains in power generation equipment, allowing an operator to reduce its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Mitsubishi Power delivered its first supercritical pressure once-through boiler in 1968, and followed up in 1981 with delivery of the first supercritical variable pressure once-through boiler. In 1993, Mitsubishi Power sought to further improve steam conditions, culminating in delivery of the first ultra-supercritical variable pressure once-through boiler.
Mitsubishi Power boasts an extensive delivery track record for both supercritical and ultra-supercritical variants and conditions to deliver highly reliable boilers.
