Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a valve system for an apparatus for supplying a target material to a radiation source, said target material having a melting temperature above room temperature and being at a pressure of at least 200 bar, wherein the valve system comprises: - a chamber having a circular cross-section, - a circular shaped valve body arranged in the chamber and matching the circular cross-section of the chamber, wherein the chamber comprises a first port and a second port, wherein the valve body is rotatable in a plane parallel to a plane of the circular cross-section about a rotation axis between an open position in which a channel in the valve body provides a flow path between the first and the second port, and a closed position in which the channel in the valve body is disconnected from at least the first port.
