Abstract

An apparatus supplies CVD coating devices with coating gas and includes an intermediate reservoir for accommodation of the gaseous coating material arranged between a storage tank and a coating device. The volume of the reservoir is set to a predetermined, maximum pressure change in the intermediate reservoir upon withdrawal of the mass of gas required for a coating step. The intermediate reservoir can be connected to a gas recovery station.
