SWASH PLATE TYPE COMPRESSOR

A swash plate compressor including a cylinder block accommodating a piston for compressing a refrigerant, a front housing coupled to the front of the cylinder block and having a crank chamber, a rear housing having a suction chamber, a discharge chamber and coupled to the rear of the cylinder block. The swash plate compressor includes a valve assembly including a valve plate inserted into the rear housing, a gasket inserted into the cylinder block, a suction plate inserted between the valve plate, the cylinder block, and a variable orifice module including a first orifice hole through which the refrigerant in the crank chamber passes, a second orifice hole communicating with the suction chamber to discharge the refrigerant passing through the first orifice hole to the suction chamber, and an intermediate passage interconnecting the first and second orifice holes, the first orifice hole having a variable reed, a degree of opening of which is varied depending on the pressure of the refrigerant.
