Abstract
The invention relates to a gas supply apparatus (21) having a shaft (23) which is rotatably mounted in a housing (22) using a gas bearing assembly (18) that is temperature-controlled with dispensing gas, and comprising a gas temperature-control device. In order to improve the gas supply apparatus (21) in respect of its manufacturing process and/or its functions, the gas temperature-control device is combined with a liquid temperature-control device (40) in an annular space (33) of the gas supply apparatus (21).
Claims9
A gas supply apparatus (21) having a shaft (23) rotatably mounted in a housing (22) using a gas bearing assembly (18) that is temperature-controlled with dispensing gas (43, 44), and comprising a gas temperature-control device (35), wherein the gas temperature-control device (35) is combined with a liquid temperature-control device (40) in an annular space (33) of the gas supply apparatus (21), wherein the gas temperature-control device (35) has a gas guiding geometry (36) comprising gas guiding bodies (37), such as ribs, lamellae, or fins, and wherein the gas guiding geometry (36) further comprises an axial web (39) fluidically separating a gas supply side (46) of the gas guiding geometry (36) from a gas discharge side (47) of the gas guiding geometry (36).
A gas supply apparatus (21) having a shaft (23) rotatably mounted in a housing (22) using a gas bearing assembly (18) that is temperature-controlled with dispensing gas (43, 44), and comprising a gas temperature-control device (35), wherein the gas temperature-control device (35) is combined with a liquid temperature-control device (40) in an annular space (33) of the gas supply apparatus (21), wherein the gas temperature-control device (35) comprises a sleeve-like base body (45), and wherein the liquid temperature-control device (40) is arranged on an inner diameter (41) of the base body (45).
