V-6 Variable Displacement Compressor: Description: General

The variable compressor is basically a swash plate type that changes piston stroke in response to the required cooling capacity.

The tilt of the wobble (swash) plate allows the piston's stroke to change so that refrigerant discharge can be continuously changed from 14.5 to 184 cm³ (0.885 to 11.228 cu. in).
