A 56 MHz Superconducting RF Cavity is being constructed for the RHIC collider. This cavity is a quarter wave resonator that will be operated at 4.4K. The cavity requires an extreme quiet environment to maintain its operating frequency. The cavity besides being engineered for a mechanically quiet system, also requires a quiet cryogenic system. Liquid helium is taken from RHIC's main helium 3.5 atm, 4.9K supply header to supply this sub-system and the boil-off is return to a separate local compressor system nearby. To acoustically separate the cryogenics' delivery and return lines, a condenser/boiler heat exchanger is used to re-liquefy the helium vapor generated by the cavity. A system description and operating parameters is given about the cryogen delivery sub-system.

A small cryogenic system and warm helium vacuum pumping system provides cooling to the Energy Recovery Linac's (ERL) cryomodules, a 5-cell cavity and an SRF gun, and a large Vertical Test Dewar. The system consist of a model 1660S PSI (KPS) plant, a 4000 liter storage dewar, subcooler, wet expander, 50 g/s main helium compressor and 170 m3 storage tank. A system description and operating plan is given of the cryogenic plant and cryomodules

The 703MHz superconducting gun will have 2 fundamental power couplers (FPCs). Each FPC will deliver up to 500kW of RF power. In order to prepare the couplers for high power RF service and process multipacting, the FPCs should be conditioned before they are installed in the gun. A conditioning cart based test stand, which includes a vacuum pumping system, controllable bake-out system, diagnostics, interlocks and data log system has been designed, constructed and commissioned by collaboration of BNL and AES. This paper presents FPC conditioning cart systems and summarizes the conditioning process and results.
