	Thanks to improvements in the performance of both commercial cryocoolers and Nb₃Sn-coated superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities, it is now possible to design and build compact, SRF cryomodules without the need for liquid cryogenics. In addition, these systems offer robust, non-expert, turn-key operation, making SRF technology significantly more accessible for smaller-scale applications in fields such as industry, national security, medicine, environmental sustainability, etc. To fully realize these systems, many technical and operational challenges must be overcome. These include properly cooling the SRF cavity via thermal conduction and designing high-power (~ 100 kW continuous) RF couplers which dissipate minimal heat (~ 1 W) at 4.2 K.
