4. The High Intensity and Energy (HIE) ISOLDE project is a overall upgrade of the ISOLDE facility at CERN. Consists in a superconducting linear accelerator of radioactive ion beams to study the nuclear physics. Involves a increase of the intensity and energy in the beam and an improvement of its quality and flexibility.

5. In order to achieve this energy, 32 superconducting RF cavities and 8 small solenoids, grouped in six cryo-modules (4.5 K), will be installed. To comply with the project requirements it is necessary a new Cryo-station. Such is comprised of a compressor, coldbox and a distribution unit.

14. Vacuum System for CB Diffusion pump To pump out the high vacuum insulation spaces in the CB, transfer line and cryostat, two vacuum systems are needed. In the case of the CB it generates high vacuum using a rotary pump (primary) & diffusion pump. With this combination we get =~ 10 -6 mbar

28. Split range is a control configuration used in industrial processes for controlling pressure, temperature or flow. The output signal of a single PID controller is split and sent to two or more control valves. A single process is controlled by coordinating the actions of several valves. E.g. the controller adjusts the opening of the inlet valve when the measured value of the PT is in the range of 0 to 100bar, the outlet valve when is 120 to 200bar and the ventilation valve when is greater than 200bar.

35. Conclusion Cryogenic refurbishing done without main issues. Cryogenic control system is a CERN cryogenic group standard. Commissioning phase with cryomodule cooled down with LHe, progressing well. LHe level remains stable while tests on the solenoid and cavities are progressing. Commissioning with beam expected next October 2015. Second cryomodule installation in progress, test in SM18 M9 end of the year.
