The Advanced Photon Source is a 7-GeV hard x-ray synchrotron light source consisting of 40 sectors. Sector 37 accommodates four radio-frequency cavities followed by a short straight section, which is set aside for the future installation of a diagnostic device. The 60-cm-long section of spool pieces can be isolated by two gate valves and has an independent vacuum pump. The spool pieces are normally under high vacuum condition when the total current is below 100 mA. However, at the higher current required for the APS Upgrade, rf heating causes an unacceptable rise in temperature. We analyzed this situation by wakefield simulation, which led to a new chamber design. Proper fabrication and careful installation with twelve thermocouples ensured a temperature rise under 40-50 degrees Celsius at 100 mA. A brief thermal analysis shows that the present observed temperature rise in the new chamber is mainly due to the resistive wall.
