SwRI sets new benchmark in high temperature pressure testing for sCO2 turbines

Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 21, 2025
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has established a new high mark in materials testing by reaching 1,150 degrees Celsius at 300 bar pressure during supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) turbine development. This surpasses previous benchmarks and represents the highest recorded temperature and pressure ever published for sCO2 environments. The achievement stems from a $6.4 million U.S. Department of Energy project initiated in 2020, focused on developing a direct-fired sCO2 oxy-fuel turbine. The ef ... read more
