Abrégé

The invention relates to a device for filling an assembly of a non-vacuum-resistant system with a service fluid. The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing a device by means of which such non-vacuum-resistant systems can be filled air-free by means of vacuum pressure filling and can be closed. Said problem is solved in that the device has a vacuum chamber (1) for holding at least one assembly (3) to be filled, wherein: in the interior of the vacuum chamber (1), a rotary device (4) for supporting and moving at least one holding unit (5) for an assembly (3) to be filled is disposed in the lower region; the at least one holding unit (5) is assembled from at least two separate segments (51; 52), which, in the assembled position, form a common free available space (53) in their interior, the inner contour of said available space being congruent to the outer contour of the assembly (3) to be filled; in one segment (52) of the holding unit (5), an additional free available space (54) is formed above the outer contour of the assembly (3) to be filled; in the interior of the vacuum chamber (1), a screwing tool (7) for a closure element (8) of the assembly (3) to be filled and a filling unit (6) are disposed above the holding unit (5); the portions of the screwing tool (7) and of the filling unit (6) which are to be operatively connected to the assembly (3) to be filled can each be moved into the additional free available space (54) of the holding unit (5) above the outer contour of the assembly (3) to be filled.
