(54) | Control valve for variable displacement compressor |
(57) A control valve for performing a Pd-Ps differential pressure control method in a
variable displacement compressor adjusts the difference between an effective pressure-receiving
area A on a discharge pressure side of an intermediate structure in which a valve
element 14 is made to move in unison with a shaft 18 and an effective pressure-receiving
area B on a suction pressure side of the intermediate structure, as required. This
allows to obtain desired "differential pressure · crank pressure characteristics"
according to the specifications of the control valve. Changes in the effective pressure-receiving
areas have almost no influence on "electric current · differential pressure characteristics",
i.e. the relationship between the value of the supplied electric current and the differential
pressure (Pd-Ps), and hence it is possible to realize the changes in the effective
pressure-receiving areas A, B with ease.
