Abstract

See full text

A control valve includes: a first valve to control a flow rate of refrigerant flowing from a discharge chamber to a control chamber of a compressor; a second valve to control a flow rate of the refrigerant flowing from the control chamber to a suction chamber; a solenoid to generate a drive force in a first valve closing direction and a second valve opening direction; a biasing member to generate a biasing force in an first valve opening direction and a second valve closing direction; and a pressure sensing part to sense a pressure in the suction chamber or the control chamber, and generate a counterforce against the drive force. A state in which both of the first and second valves are open is present during an increase in the current supplied to the solenoid from zero to an upper limit current value, and an increase rate of an opening degree of the first valve is increased during a decrease in the current supplied to the solenoid, a predetermined lower limit current value being an inflection point of the increase.
