	According to the design of the IREN facility the system of thermostatting of LUE-200 linac sections is developed. Rated values of linac beam power depend basically on a microwave power input and stability of the phase. The latter is sustained by means of thermostatic control for the sections subject to the powerful microwave warming-up. Demanded both high accuracy of stabilization and low settling time of temperature for linac modes define development of the control system. The precise system of thermostatic control in which composition the programmable PID-controller and the platinum resistance thermometer with accuracy of 0.1%, and also thyristor regulators of heating power up to 15 kVА has been adapted for modes of the IREN microwave facility. The advanced system allows to control both power of heating and a flow of cooling water. The system supervises and changes over modes of the accelerated warming-up and controllable heating and cooling. Both high accuracy of the thermostat and energy saving at a smooth settling of temperature and at the subsequent long-term thermostabilization are substantially improved. Essential speed-up of a preliminary warming-up of the thermostat also is attained.
