Abstract
A superconducting linac will provide electron bunches of 17.5 GeV beam energy for the operation of the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) at DESY. 800 superconducting niobium 1.3 GHz nine cell cavities and 100 superconducting magnet packages will be cooled in a liquid helium II cooling bath at 2.0K temperature. Liquid helium II bath cooling at 2.0K is established by means of a 4 stages cold compressor system. For the stable operation of cold compressors sudden load changes should be avoided. Electrical heaters in the helium II bath will compensate dynamic heat load changes caused by the radio frequency (RF) operation of the cavities in the XFEL linac. The complementary load operation of electrical heaters is studied at the existing facilities at DESY. Measurements performed at Cryo Module Test Bench (CMTB), Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF) and FLASH accelerator are reported.
