Control valve for variable displacement compressors and method for varying displacement

摘要

A control valve varies the displacement of a variable displacement compressor. A pressure chamber is connected to a suction chamber through a fixed throttle and to a discharge chamber through an intake passage. The intake passage includes a fixed throttle and an electromagnetic valve. A controller controls the electromagnetic valve in accordance with data related to the running conditions of the vehicle. The control valve has a threshold value that changes in accordance with the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve.
