NOVELTY - The method for discontinuously refilling a selenium evaporator chamber, comprises introducing selenium (12) into an intermediate connection piece (10) via a feeder (6) by opening a cooled vacuum slide (8.1), which is heated at 25-35 degrees C, closing the cooled vacuum slide, applying a vacuum between the cooled vacuum slide, the intermediate connection piece and the heated vacuum slide (8.2), where the heated vacuum slide is heated at 150-170 degrees C, transferring the selenium into the selenium evaporator chamber by opening the heated vacuum slide, and closing the heated vacuum slide.    USE - Method for discontinuously refilling a selenium evaporator chamber during the production of thin-film solar cells (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method is capable of economically refilling the selenium evaporator chamber in a less time-consuming manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method for discontinuously refilling a selenium evaporator chamber, comprises introducing selenium (12) into an intermediate connection piece (10) via a feeder (6) by opening a cooled vacuum slide (8.1), which is heated at 25-35 degrees C, closing the cooled vacuum slide, applying a vacuum between the cooled vacuum slide, the intermediate connection piece and the heated vacuum slide (8.2), where the heated vacuum slide is heated at 150-170 degrees C, transferring the selenium into the selenium evaporator chamber by opening the heated vacuum slide, and closing the heated vacuum slide. The cooling of the cooled vacuum slide takes place by a mounted first cooled connection piece and/or a second cooled connection piece. The heating of the heated vacuum slide takes place by a mounted third connection piece and/or a first heated connection piece. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a device for discontinuously refilling a selenium evaporator chamber.
