Abstract
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has upgraded to LCLS-II, featuring a 4 GeV superconducting linear accelerator composed of 37 cryomodules and two large helium refrigeration systems with a cooling capacity of 4 kW at 2.0 K. The LCLS-II Helium Refrigeration System (HRS) consists of two compressor stations, each with a power of approximately 4.5 MW, two 4.5 K cold boxes, each with a power of 18 kW equivalent at 4.5 K, and two sets of cold compressors that can each produce a flow of 230 g/s at 31 mbar (2.0K). Performance tests of the HRS were meticulously planned and successfully carried out, with results demonstrating that it exceeded the process requirements for LCLS-II operations. This paper provides a detailed presentation of the LCLS-II HRS performance and the challenges encountered during the commissioning phase.
