  Understanding the heat load from an electron beam is still an open issue for the cryogenic design of superconducting insertion devices. COLDDIAG, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics was designed and built specially for this purpose. With the equipped instrumentation, which covers temperature sensors, pressure gauges, mass spectrometers as well as retarding field analyzers it is possible to measure the beam heat load, total pressure, and gas content as well as the net flux and energy of particles hitting the chamber walls. Following a failure after its first installation in November 2011, COLDDIAG was subsequently reinstalled in the Diamond storage ring in August 2012. We report on the preliminary results that have been obtained since then.
