Abstract
In order to produce short pulsed electron beam of 17.5 GeV energy, the XFEL linear accelerator is being built at DESY in Hamburg. Before being installed in the accelerator tunnel, 103 accelerator modules have to be tested in Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF). Cavities and cryomodules are tested at two vertical cryostats and three horizontal test benches. Two valve boxes and a liquid helium (LHe) storage tank are installed to enable cryogenic operation of AMTF. This paper describes our experience of three years cryogenic operation of AMTF. All 800 cavities and almost all cryomodules have been tested. The test results and lessons learned are also summarized
