In order to obtain the design, manufacture and operation experiences on the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cryomodule for the International Linear Collider (ILC), a test cryomodule for 1.3 GHz single 9-cell SC cavity was designed by IHEP (Institute of High Energy Physics) and TIPC (Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry) jointly. This cryomodule will be used as a horizontal test facility for a 1.3 GHz 9-cell SC cavity. The cryogenic system for the cryomodule was also designed, which will be operated at 2.0 K with saturated superfluid helium. The major requirements, design, simulation results of the cryomodule are reported in the paper. This key component of a superconducting accelerator test unit will be built in the near future at IHEP.
