  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.

  The FREIA laboratory is a Facility for REsearch Instrumentation and Accelerator Development at Uppsala University, Sweden constructed recently to develop and test accelerator components. Initially it will develop the RF system for the spoke cavities of the ESS linac and test prototype spoke cavities at nominal RF power. For this purpose we installed a helium liquefaction plant, a versatile horizontal test cryostat and two 352 MHz RF power stations, one based on two tetrodes and the other on solid state technology. Beyond these developments FREIA will house a neutron generator and plans for a THz FEL are under discussion. FREIA is embedded in the Ångström physics, chemistry and engineering campus at Uppsala in close proximity to mechanical workshops, clean room with electron microscopes, tandem accelerator and the biomedical center.
