Abstract:
A lithographic apparatus comprising an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam, a support structure constructed to support a patterning device, the patterning device being capable of imparting the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam, a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate, and a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto the substrate, the lithographic apparatus being provided with a first cooling fluid circuit which is configured to cool components to a first temperature, and provided with a second cooling fluid circuit which is configured to cool components to a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature.

Claim (Index 7):
A lithographic fab comprising:\n a lithographic apparatus configured to image a pattern onto a substrate via electromagnetic radiation; a source configured to generate the electromagnetic radiation and comprising a laser amplifier configured to amplify a laser beam, the laser amplifier comprises a main conduit, a gas recirculation system, and first and second heat exchangers wherein:\n the main conduit is provided with electrodes configured to transfer energy to a gas in the main conduit for amplification of the laser beam; \n the gas recirculation system comprises a gas conduit configured to deliver the gas to the main conduit or remove the gas from the main conduit; \n the first and second heat exchangers are configured to be in thermal contact with the gas conduit; \n the first heat exchanger is operative to use a cooling fluid for cooling the gas to a gas temperature between a high temperature at an input of the gas conduit and a low temperature at an output of the gas conduit and, when exiting the first heat exchanger, the cooling fluid is substantially hotter than an ambient environment of the lithographic fab; \n the second heat exchanger is operative to use a further cooling fluid for cooling the gas to the low temperature at the output of the gas conduit and, when exiting the second heat exchanger, the further cooling fluid is cooler than the ambient environment; \n a cooling system operative to cool the cooling fluid that comprises at least one of:\n a cooling tower configured to transfer heat from the cooling fluid to the ambient environment; \n a waste heat recovery system operative to extract energy from the cooling fluid; and \n a system configured to heat a building.
