Once the steam has passed through the turbine, it enters the condenser where it is cooled until it condenses back into liquid water.
This is done by passing the wet steam around thousands of small cold water tubes. The cold water is usually supplied from a nearby lake or river, or from a cooling tower.
The condensed steam is collected at the bottom of the condenser and returned to the boiler using feedwater pumps, to begin the water-to-steam, steam-to-water cycle again.
We are located on the grounds of the Leduc West Antique Museum. Travel 5 miles west of Leduc on Highway 39. Go north on Range Road 260 (Cohne Dale Road) for about 800 metres and the museum will be on your right. The LWAS Annual Exposition on July 22 & 23 was a great success and now we look forward to the Fall Harvest on September 9 & 10, with public tours, exhibits and the Tractor Pull Provincial Finals event. The final music performance of the season will feature “Celtera” and as their name implies is steeped in the music from the Emerald Isle and Scotland. Finally, on September 15 & 16, the Lesco Pro Truck Show n' Shine arrives at Leduc West. Although our museum will only be open on the 16th, please come out and see the trucks on both days!
