  On successful assembly and preliminary testing of an optimised SRF cryomodule for application on ERL accelerators, which is being developed through an international collaboration the cryomodule has been installed on the 35 MeV ALICE (Accelerators and Lasers in Combined Experiments) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) facility at STFC Daresbury Laboratory. Existing cryogenic infrastructure has a capacity to deliver approximately 120 W cooling power at 2 K, but the HOM (Higher Order Mode) absorbers, the thermal intercepts for the high power RF couplers and the radiation shield in the cryomodule are designed to be cooled (to 5 K and 80 K) with gaseous helium instead of liquid nitrogen. As a result the cryogenic infrastructure for ALICE had to be modified to meet these additional requirements. In this paper we describe our experience with the process of integration and the cryogenic commissioning, and present some initial results.
