The S-DALINAC is the superconducting linear accelerator of the Institut für Kernphysik at Technische Universität Darmstadt. It delivers an electron beam with energies up to 130 MeV. In order to improve the energy spread and the energy stability of the beam for further acceleration a new scrapersystem has been developed and installed between the 10 MeV injector and the main linac. The system was designed to ensure an energy spread of dE < 10-03. After installation several tests have taken place, the results will be presented in this work.

The superconducting Darmstadt linear accelerator S-DALINAC has been designed to provide electron beams of up to 130 MeV for nuclear and astrophysical experiments. The accelerating cavities are operated in a liquid helium bath at 2 K. To achieve this temperature the cryostat has to be pumped down to a pressure of 35 mbar which was done by a system of pumping units connected in series, when the accelerator started its operation in 1991. In 2005 this system was replaced by four parallel switched pumping stations. In the first three years of their operation, the reliability of the accelerator was very poor due to repeated breakdowns of the pumping stations caused by overheating. In addition the high temperatures lead to an early decay of the gaskets used. The problem was solved by installing oil cooling systems and more appropriate shaft sleeves at the pumping stations. We will report on the technical efforts we made and thereby further increased the availability of the accelerator significantly. Also we will give a review on our experiences in maintenance procedures.
