Abstract
A variable capacity compressor like a swash plate type where a pressurized fluid is fed to a control pressure chamber such as a swash plate chamber to apply a backpressure to a piston etc. and the backpressure is changed by the capacity control valve, wherein the valve is streamlined and reduced in cost by providing a simple valve such as a two-way solenoid valve as a capacity control valve in a feed path to or discharge path from the control pressure chamber. By controlling the duty ratio of the valve, it is possible to smoothly change the capacity of the compressor. Further, a torque sensor is provided at a drive shaft, and the valve is controlled by a control unit to change the discharge capacity of the compressor in accordance with that detection value.
