  • Patent number: 6443708
    Abstract: An electromagnetic control valve of a fast response compression volume control apparatus for a refrigeration cycle is provided which connects and blocks a pressure adjusting chamber of the compressor to and from a discharge chamber or a suction chamber such that the a differential pressure between at least one of a pressure in the pressure adjusting chamber and a pressure in the suction chamber and a pressure in the discharge chamber is maintained at a predetermined differential pressure value. The differential pressure is changed by changing the electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic control valve such that the discharge volume of the refrigerant is controlled and the compression volume becomes a predetermined one in a prompt action without a time delay when the electromagnetic force is varied.
