Abstract
According to an example, a photoconductive sleeve support includes a core member rotatable about a rotation axis and an energy exchange member to receive a photoconductive sleeve and coupled to the core member. The energy exchange member is arranged such that an outer surface of the energy exchange member is to contact with an inner surface of the photoconductive sleeve and the energy exchange member includes an input port to receive heat transfer fluid from a fluid supply station.

A photoconductive sleeve support comprising:
- a core member rotatable about a rotation axis;
- and
- an energy exchange member to receive a photoconductive sleeve and coupled to the core member, the energy exchange member including an input port to receive heat transfer fluid from a fluid supply station,
- wherein the energy exchange member is arranged such that an outer surface of the energy exchange member is to contact with an inner surface of the photoconductive sleeve.
A printing system comprising:
- a fluid supply station to supply heat transfer fluid,
- a controller to control the fluid supply station;
- a photoconductive sleeve support to receive a photoconductive sleeve, the support comprising:
- a core member rotatable about a rotation axis, and
- an energy exchange member coupled to the core member, the energy exchange member in fluidic communication with the fluid supply station and arranged such that an outer surface of the energy exchange member is to receive an inner surface of the photoconductive sleeve,
- wherein the controller is to control the fluid supply station to supply heat transfer fluid at a temperature associated with an operating mode.
A photoconductive assembly comprising:
- a photoconductive sleeve;
- a support comprising:
- a core member rotatable about a rotation axis;
- a helical heat exchanger coupled to the core member and arranged to contact with an inner surface of the photoconductive sleeve;
- a fluid supply station to supply heat transfer fluid to an input port of the helical heat exchanger;
- and
- a controller to control the fluid supply station to supply heat transfer fluid at a temperature associated with an operating mode.
