Abstract

A fluid machine, in which the step of mounting a filter on a flow passageway can be easily automated and the latitude of filter arrangement is improved. A mounting recess is formed on the inner bottom surface of a rear housing. An inlet to a gas feed passageway opens to the bottom of the mounting recess. A control valve for adjusting the displacement of the compressor is arranged on the way of the gas feed passageway. A filter including a support ring and a filter member made of a woven wire in a shape of a cylinder with one end covered is fixedly secured in the mounting recess by press fitting. The head of the filter member is formed to project beyond the inner bottom surface when the filter is mounted in the mounting recess.
