A capacity control valve (1) includes a valve main body (10) having a first communication passage (11), a second communication passage (12), a third communication passage (13), and a main valve seat (15a), a valve element (20) having an intermediate communication passage (29), a main valve portion (21c), and an auxiliary valve portion (23d), and a solenoid (30) having a plunger (35) that drives a first rod (136) and a second rod (36). The first rod (136) opens and closes the main valve portion (21c), and the second rod (36) opens and closes the auxiliary valve portion. The capacity control valve is capable of efficiently discharging a liquid coolant irrespective of pressure of a suction chamber and lowering drive force of a compressor at a liquid coolant discharging operation.

A capacity control valve includes a valve housing formed with a discharge port, a suction port, and first and second control ports, a rod arranged in the valve housing and driven by a solenoid, a CS valve 50 configured to control a fluid flow between the first control port and the suction port in accordance with a movement of the rod, and a DC valve configured to control a fluid flow between the second control port and the discharge port in accordance with the movement of the rod. In a non-energization state of the solenoid, the CS valve is closed and the DC valve is opened. As the energization of the solenoid becomes larger, the CS valve transitions from a closed state to an open state, and the DC valve is throttled from an open state and thereafter transitions to the open state.

A capacity control valve includes a valve housing provided with a discharge port, suction ports, a control port and a primary valve driven by a solenoid. The capacity control valve further includes a differential CS valve which includes a differential CS valve body disposed so as to be relatively movable in an axial direction with respect to the primary valve bodies. The differential CS valve body divides a control pressure chamber into a discharge side control chamber communicating with the first control port and a suction side control chamber communicating with the second control port in the axial direction and operates the differential CS valve body by a differential pressure between the discharge side control chamber and the suction side control chamber so as to open the second control port and the suction port.

A capacity control valve includes a valve housing provided with a discharge port, suction ports, and a control port and a primary valve including a primary valve seat and a primary valve body driven by a solenoid, the primary valve being configured to open and close a communication between the discharge port and the control port in accordance with a movement of the primary valve body. The capacity control valve further includes a differential CS valve which is openable and closable by a pressure difference between the control pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps and an electromagnetic CS valve that is openable and closable so as to close the control port and the suction port in a non-energized state of the solenoid 80 in accordance with the movement of the primary valve body.

Variable displacement swash plate type compressor includes casing, rotating shaft, swash plate, piston, and inclination adjustment mechanism with first flow path connecting discharge chamber with crankcase and second flow path connecting crankcase with suction chamber to adjust inclination angle of the swash plate. An orifice hole decompressing fluid passing through the second flow path is formed in the second flow path. An orifice control mechanism controlling effective flow cross-sectional area of the orifice hole is formed on the second flow path. The orifice hole and control mechanism are formed to increase differential pressure in the crankcase and suction chamber, the effective flow cross-sectional area increases, and with further differential pressure increase it becomes a second area larger than zero and less than the first area. Achieved is rapid control of refrigerant discharge amount and prevention of reduction in compressor efficiency with reduction of time to switch to the maximum mode.

A capacity control valve includes a CS valve which opens and closes a communication between the control fluid and the suction fluid by the movement of rods and an urging member configured to urge the primary valve body and the rods in opposite directions and the primary valve body and the rods are disposed so as to be relatively movable in an axial direction.

A displacement control valve includes a housing a first, a second, and a third chamber; a valve body having a first reciprocating valve part that opens or closes discharge paths in the first chamber; and a solenoid that applies electromagnetic force to the valve body in the direction that closes the first valve part. The control valve has a spool valve part formed on the external circumference of the valve body and a spool seating part formed on the internal circumference of the valve housing and that is opened while the first valve part is closed and vice versa upon reciprocation of the valve body to control the rate of flow between a control chamber and an inlet chamber.

A capacity control valve (1) for controlling a flow rate or pressure of a variable capacity compressor according to a valve opening degree of a valve section includes: a valve main body (10) having a first valve chamber (14), a second valve chamber (15) and a third valve chamber (16); a valve body (20) having an intermediate communication passage (26) for allowing communication between the first valve chamber and the third valve chamber, a first valve part (21a) arranged in the first valve chamber, a second valve part (21b) for opening and closing communication between the third valve chamber and the second valve chamber, and a third communication hole for allowing communication between the third valve chamber and the intermediate communication passage; a solenoid (30) having a first plunger connected to the valve body; and a second plunger (37) arranged between the solenoid and the valve body.

Provided is a variable-capacity compressor control valve that can cancel the influence of the refrigerant pressure acting on a main valve element without increasing the size of a valve body. A main valve element is provided with a suction pressure passage adapted to guide a suction pressure Ps acting on the upper end of the main valve element to a Ps introduction chamber provided at the lower end of the main valve element so that the suction pressure Ps acts on the lower end of the main valve element. A cross-sectional area Ab of a lower fit-inserted portion of the main valve element, an effective opening area Ac of a valve orifice, and a cross-sectional area Ad of an upper fit-inserted portion are equal to one another.

A control device of a compressor includes a piston which reciprocates by a swash plate, a crankcase receiving the swash plate mounted such that an inclination angle thereof is variable, a discharge chamber from which a compressed working fluid is discharged, a suction chamber sucking the working fluid to be compressed, a first communication channel connecting the suction chamber and the crankcase, a second communication channel connecting the discharge chamber and the crankcase, and a control valve which selectively opens and closes the first communication channel and the second communication channel. The control device includes a suction pressure sensor measuring a pressure of the suction chamber, a valve control unit determining a target suction pressure on the basis of the value measured by the suction pressure sensor and a set temperature, and a valve driving unit controlling the opening degree of the control valve to achieve the target suction pressure.
