WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti FX45 and 2008 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The variable compressor is 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 continuously change from 14.5 to 184 cm³ (0.885 to 11.228 cu in).
