Abstract

For the transmission of heat under vacuum conditions to a workpiece, a carrier is used with gas outlets and gas return openings distributed on its surface. A dynamic gas layer is thus formed between the carrier and the workpiece wherein the gas effects thermal conduction between the carrier and the workpiece. The gas outlets terminate in a distribution space implemented as a groove.
