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.
As winter is now fully upon us, the Edmonton Power Historical Foundation Museum will remain closed until more clement weather arrives in the spring of 2026. We look forward to throwing open our doors in April, rested, refreshed and eager to show off our fine collection showcasing the history of electricity in Alberta.
We anticipate opening for the Volunteer Expo in April, the
Spring Fire-up
in May, the Leduc West Annual Exposition in July, and finally in September the Country Harvest and the Lesco Truck Show. Exact dates will be announced in late February. Watch this space! Plus we are availble for private tours in the summer - just contact us from this web site; We'd LOVE to see you!
