	Funding: BMBF, Helmholtz Association, ILC-HiGrade, FP7 (CRISP), Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung/Foundation The EXFEL order for SRF cavities includes 24 cavities, which are part of the ILC-HiGrade program. Initially, these cavities serve as quality control (QC) sample extracted from the EXFEL cavities series production on a regular basis. The QC and quality assurance (QA) include all processing steps of the EXFEL cavities. To maximize the information from these so-called QC cavities, a surface mapping technique is applied in a second cold RF test. There the cavities delivered have experienced identical treatment of the inner surface with the exception of mounting of the Helium vessel. After the normal acceptance test at the cavity RF measurement facility, the cavities are removed from the production flow. Further quality assurance steps beginning with a detailed RF test with surface mapping followed by a high resolution optical inspection (OBACHT) are carried out to improve the understanding of defects in close collaboration with the standing experts engaged in the EXFEL production. Results of the first QC cavities tests as well as planned further R&D will be presented and discussed.

	Energy saving has become an important challenge in accelerator design. In this framework, reduction of heat loads in a cryomodule is of fundamental importance due to the small thermodynamic efficiency of cooling at low temperatures. In particular, care must be taken during the design of its critical components (RF couplers, cold-warm transitions, ..). In this framework, the main RF coupler of the Superconducting Proton Linac cryomodule at CERN will not only be used for RF powering but also as the main mechanical support of the superconducting cavities. These two functions have to be accomplished while ensuring the lowest heat in-leak to the helium bath at 2 K. In the SPL design, the RF coupler outer conductor is composed of two walls and cooled by forced convection with helium gas at 4.5 K. Analytical, semi-analytical and numerical analyses are presented in order to defend the choice of gas cooling. Temperature profiles and thermal performance have been evaluated for different operating conditions; a sensitivity analysis of RF currents node position along the wall has also been performed. Finally, comparison with respect to other heat extraction methods is presented.
