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 km 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. If you're coming from the west, Cohne Dale Road is 5km east of Highway 60.
2024 is in the books, and we are looking forward to an even better 2025. The Leduc Country Lights and the Leduc Christmas Convoy were both smashing successes, and the year ended with the last day of the lights on December 31. The EPHF Museum will open again for the Leduc West Spring Swap Meet in May 2025. If, however, you are interested in a private tour, just leave a message on this website and we'll do our best to arrange a time for you to come out.
Exhibition dates for 2025 are the Spring Swap Meet (combined with the Embers & Ice Pitmaster Challenge) on May 24 & 25, the Annual Exposition on July 19 & 20, and the Fall Harvest on September 6 & 7. Plus the Lesco Truck Show on September 19th and 20th. Watch this space!
