  • Patent number: 11047383
    Abstract: Control flowrate regulating valve for a scroll compressor inside a vehicle air conditioner or a heat pump, the valve at least comprising: a housing; a closing member; and fluid connection parts for a control flowrate of back pressure, high pressure and suction pressure. Fluid connection parts having effective areas, of the closing member, assigned to the fluid connection parts. Control flowrate regulating valve has a fluid connection part, for peripheral pressure, and an effective area of the closing member. It is formed in a fluid-sealing manner for other chambers having high pressure, back pressure and suction pressure, such that the force, obtained from the pressures applied to the closing member, is applied to the closing member to allow the control flowrate, which moves from the high pressure to the suction pressure, to flow in a manner of forming the back pressure. Peripheral pressure is applied to the closing member.
