Abstract: A variable swash plate compressor (10), including a housing (12), a top inlet (14A), a bottom inlet (14B) , a pumping chamber (16), a compression piston (18), a top outlet (20A), a bottom outlet (20B) , a drive shaft (22) , a control surface element (24), a pinnacle element (26), a swash plate (28), a bore (30) and a pocket (32) formed in the swash plate (28), a pivot element tip (38) and fulcrum piston assembly (40). Wherein the angle of the swash plate (28) relative to the drive shaft (22) is varied to bring about a larger or smaller travel path of the compression piston (18) and thereby increasing or decreasing the output capacity of the variable swash plate compressor (10).
