Summary
[edit]DescriptionPenstock for the Ore Chimney Mine (21810056040).jpg |
English: The penstock shown here was used to funnel water that was held behind dams at Slave Lake, to turbines in the generator house. Electricity was then supplied to the Ore Chimney Mine. The several cement dams at Slave Lake (created by damming up the Skootamatta River) varied in height and width. The largest was 18 metres long and 9 metres high [the smallest being about 0.5 metres high]. Remains of all the dams still exist today [including the control dam which diverted excess water to flow down the river bed rather than through the turbine]. [The penstock was about 1.7 metres in diameter and fed a twin turbine arrangement in the powerhouse. The head of water was around 10 metres. The large vertical tank shown here is called a surge tank into which water in the penstock flowed when the gates to the turbines were closed due to maintenance. The tank filled, slowing the water in the penstock thus preventing a water-hammer affect which could tear the whole structure apart of allowed.] |
