Abstract: In a control valve, the spring load of a spring, which biases a main valve element in a valve opening direction, is regulated, for instance. This allows a range of suction pressures Ps, where a main valve and a sub-valve are simultaneously closed until a sub-valve element is lifted from a sub-valve seat after a main valve element has been seated on a main valve seat, to be set as a deadband. The control valve is configured such that the value of a suction pressure Ps with which to open the sub-valve after the closing of the main valve and the pressure values at which the deadband takes place are set variably by the setting of a value of current supplied to the solenoid.

A sub-valve chamber whose diameter is larger than that of the main valve hole is formed between the crankcase communication port and a main valve hole, and a sub-valve is placed in the sub-valve chamber.

Abstract: A control valve according to an exemplary embodiment includes an interlocking mechanism that achieves a first operation and a second operation simultaneously or continuously. In the first operation, a sub-valve is opened by having an actuating rod displaced integrally with a sub-valve element in accordance with the magnitude of solenoidal force. In the second operation, a load, by which to bias a main valve element in a closing direction of a main valve, is increased by displacing the actuating rod relative to the main valve element.

A second expansion valve is provided in a second refrigerant circulation passage through which the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is able to circulate by passing sequentially through an auxiliary condenser and the external heat exchanger and returning to the compressor. The second expansion valve regulates the valve opening degree such that the refrigerant state at an inlet side of the compressor during a heating operation is in a range where the dryness of refrigerant is greater than or equal to 0.9 and the superheat of refrigerant is less than or equal to 5° C.
