Abstract
A temperature conditioning system using conditioning liquid to condition a temperature of an object, the system including a conditioning conduit, a return conduit, a supply chamber, and a discharge chamber, wherein the temperature conditioning system is arranged to provide a static pressure difference between the supply chamber outlet and the discharge chamber inlet to create a flow through the conditioning conduit. A lithography apparatus and a method of temperature conditioning an object is also described.
