Abstract
A capacity control valve capable of enhancing the function of discharging liquid refrigerant in a control chamber during startup of a variable capacity compressor, and improving the control speed of a swash plate during control is provided. The valve has an adapter that has an annular bearing surface and is provided to a free end of a pressure-sensitive body in the elongation and constriction direction, and a valve body for discharging liquid refrigerant, moveably provided inside the adapter. A slit is provided to an engaging part of the adapter with a third valve part, and an introduction hole for causing the control chamber pressure to act on a bottom surface of the valve body for discharging the liquid refrigerant is provided to the base part side, and an urging force is provided whereby the valve body for discharging the liquid refrigerant is urged in a valve-opening direction away from the third valve part.
