  Measurement of Bremsstrahlung radiation from ECR plasma can yield certain information of the ECR heating process and a plausible estimate of the X-ray heat load to the cryostat of a superconducting ECR source which needs seriously addressed. With a newly-developed collimation system, which defines a narrower spatial range of the measurement and provides an effective shielding from the background, a systematic measurement of the Bremmstrahlung emitted axially from the SECRAL (Superconducting ECR Ion Source with Advanced design in Lanzhou) plasma were carried out recently. The spectral temperature Tspe, a relative index of mean energy of the plasma hot electrons, was derived through linear fitting of the spectra in semi-logarithm coordinates. This article will present and discuss the evolutions of the X-ray flux and the hot electron energy with various source parameters, such as heating frequency, RF power and magnetic field configuration. And possible solutions to reduce the X-ray heat load induced by Bremsstrahlung radiation are proposed and discussed.
