In a swash plate type compressor, refrigerant in a discharge pressure region is introduced into a crank chamber through a supply passage while the refrigerant in the crank chamber is drawn out to a suction pressure region through a bleed passage for controlling pressure in the crank chamber, whereby inclination angle of a swash plate is changed. A heat-generating sliding portion is provided in the crank chamber. The supply passage includes a communication port that communicates with the crank chamber and a first throttle portion for throttling the refrigerant. At least parts of the supply passage and the bleed passage are formed in a drive shaft. A part of the bleed passage formed in the drive shaft is located between a part of the supply passage formed in the drive shaft and an outer peripheral surface of the drive shaft.

Swash plate type compressor

A variable displacement type compressor circulates a refrigerant in an air conditioning circuit. The compressor has a compression mechanism and a displacement controller. The compression mechanism compresses and discharges the refrigerant. The displacement controller controls the discharge amount of the refrigerant of the compressor. The displacement controller further includes a normal control means and a protective control means. The normal control means controls the displacement based on a cooling load. The protective control means controls the displacement based on the value in connection with the rotational speed of the compressor and the actual operating information of the compressor.

Therefore, the performance of the film and the productivity thereof are improved.

An antistatic inorganic filler comprises an inorganic filler, an organic dispersant applied onto the surface of the inorganic filler and an organic antistatic agent applied onto the organic dispersant layer. The inorganic filler may be prepared by a method comprising the steps of wet-grinding an inorganic filler in the presence of an organic dispersant, drying the ground inorganic filler and then mixing it with an organic antistatic agent; or a method comprising the steps of wet-grinding an inorganic filler in the presence of an organic dispersant, adding an organic antistatic agent to the resulting slurry of the ground filler and then drying the mixture. The inorganic filler shows an effect of imparting long-lasting antistatic properties to plastic and rubber materials in addition to the effects as the filler such as excellent rigidity, heat resistance and impact resistance.
