  At Uppsala University, the FREIA facility for research and development of new accelerators and associated instrumentation, is presently in construction. Associated to a new Helium Liquefier, a Horizontal Test Cryostat will be used for high power RF tests of completely equipped SC cavities. This paper presents the main characteristics of the cryostat and the associated cryogenic distribution system. Two types of cavities have been considered for test purpose: SC elliptical cavities for future free electron lasers and SC cavities for high intensity proton accelerators (i.e. SC spokes). A special valve box including a subcooling stage and power coupler cooling with supercritical Helium supply have been designed, for temperature operation ranging from 2K to 4.2 K. This facility will play an essential role in the development and test of cavities, couplers and cryomodules for the ESS project. High power RF sources will be installed in order to allow unique and complete tests of spoke cavities and cryomodules at high nominal peak power.

In the framework of recent European programs (FP6-Eurotrans, FP7-MAX), the SC proton Linac for the MYRRHA project (associating an accelerator to a subcritical nuclear reactor, to be installed in the SCK•CEN at Mol-Belgium), has been extensively studied and optimized to reach strict requirements in beam power and reliability as needed for this ADS demonstrator. The linac, composed of 150 SC cavities (CH, spoke and elliptical) installed in 60 cryomodules, operates at 2K, delivering a beam power of 2.5 MW (600 MeV, 4 mA) in CW mode, will be installed in a tunnel of 240 m length. In this paper we present the evaluation of the cryogenic power requirements, a preliminary architecture of the cryogenic refrigerator system including all its major components, and preliminary proposals for the cryofluids distribution along the SC linac.

  The European Spallation Source will be the world's most powerfull neutron source. IPN Orsay undertakes the development of the ESS linac cryomodules for both medium and high beta elliptical cavities which constitute the high energy section. A medium beta technical demonstrator will be built in a first time. The cryomodules are composed of 4 superconducting cavities cooled at 2K. The cold mass assembly is hanged in an intermediate structure located inside the vacuum vessel. A 50K fixed temperature is implemented by the mean of an aluminium shield. Each cryomodule is connected to the cryogenic distribution line. The vacuum vessel is 6.3m long and has a 1.2m diameter. The poster describes the general design,the solutions implemented, the characteristics of the main components and the mechanical/thermal calculations .
