Abstract
In a variable displacement compressor that draws, compresses, and discharges refrigerant gas, the displacement is adjusted by varying the inclination of a cam plate in accordance with the difference between the pressure in a crank chamber and the pressure in cylinder bores. A pressurizing passage connects the crank chamber to a discharge passage. A bleed passage connects the crank chamber to a suction chamber. A displacement control valve is externally controlled and varies the pressure in the crank chamber by adjusting the opening size of either the pressurizing passage or the bleed passage. A suction control valve closes a duct between the suction chamber and an evaporator when the pressure in the crank chamber exceeds a predetermined level to prevent an excessively high pressure in the crank chamber.
