A variable discharge-amount compressor includes a compression unit for compressing refrigerant, and a discharge-amount varying unit for varying a discharge amount of refrigerant discharged from the compression unit. The discharge-amount varying unit has a first control room communicating with inlet and outlet of the compression unit, a second control room communicating with the inlet, and a third control room communicating with the second control room through a orifice. The first control room communicates with the inlet through a control passage opened and closed by a control valve. Further, a bypass passage communicating with the inlet is opened when the control passage is opened. Therefore, when an engine for driving the compressor is rotated to be accelerated, a pressure difference is generated between a pressure inside the second control room and a pressure inside the third control room, thereby opening the control passage and the bypass passage. Thus, the compressor can reduce a discharge amount of refrigerant during an acceleration of the engine without any extra detector or control device, resulting in a low production cost.
