  A horizontal cryostat to test superconducting cavities and magnets at liquid helium temperatures is installed at FREIA (Facility for REsearch Instrumentation and Accelerator development) at Uppsala University, Sweden. The cryostat allows full testing of superconducting spoke and elliptical accelerating cavities without the need of a specialized cryomodule per cavity. Because horizontal cryostats are custom-built, their number in the accelerator world is very limited. The FREIA horizontal cryostat is one of a kind as it has been designed to be versatile: it is able to house either two ESS double-spoke, or two ESS/TESLA type elliptical cavities, or superconducting magnets or a combination of these with all the ancillary equipment (power couplers, tuners, etc) and test them at the same time, reducing installation time but requiring extra design effort and cryogens supply. In order to achieve this, a helium liquefier with a capacity of 140 l/h delivers liquid helium to the horizontal cryostat while the return gases are directed towards a recovery system, connected in closed loop with the liquefier.
