The S-DALINAC is a superconducting recirculating electron accelerator with maximum design energy of 130 MeV operating in cw at 3 GHz. Even so the gradients of the superconducting cavities are well above design, their design quality factor of 3*109 have not been reached so far. Due to the limited cooling power of the cryo-plant being 120 W, the final energy achievable in cw operation is around 85 MeV, currently. In order to provide a cw beam with the designed final energy in the future, the installation of an additional recirculation path is projected and to be finished by 2013. We review the design constraints related to the existing beam lines, report in detail on the magnet design (being the key issue) and the lattice calculations for the additional recirculation path.
