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 liquid helium volume for the large vertical dewar is approximate 84 inches tall by 40 inches diameter with a working clear inner diameter of 38 inch with the inner cold magnetic shield system installed. For radiation enclosure, the test dewar is situated inside a concrete block structure. The structure is above ground and is accessible from the top, and has a retractable concrete roof. A second radiation concrete facility, with ground level access via a labyrinth is also available for testing of smaller cavities in 2 smaller dewars.

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.

In order to cool the superconducting magnets in RHIC, its helium refrigerator distributes 4.5 K helium throughout the tunnel via a series of distribution and return lines. The worst case for failure would be a release from the magnet distribution line, which operates at 3.5 to 4.5 atmospheres and contains the energized magnet bus. Should the bus insulation system fail or an electrical connection open, there is the potential for releasing up to 70 MJoules of stored energy. Studies were done to determine release rate of the helium and the resultant reduction in O2 concentration in the RHIC tunnel and service buildings. Equipment and components were also reviewed for reliability and the effects of 10 years of operations. Modifications were made to reduce the likelihood of failure and to reduce the amount of helium gas that could be released into tunnels and service buildings while personnel are present. This paper describes the issues reviewed, the steps taken, and remaining work to be done to reduce the hazards.
