A displacement control valve which is capable of shortening a time period for transition in operating displacement, and operating without necessitating a large solenoid force even if the size of the valve is increased so as to increase the amount of refrigerant. A differential pressure-sensing section is separated from a valve section, and caused to sense the differential pressure by a small-diameter piston rod such that even a small-sized solenoid section can set a differential pressure. A valve element, which is formed to have a larger diameter than that of the piston rod to increase the amount of refrigerant, is configured to operate as a member formed in one piece with a shaft. The pressure Pc from a pressure-regulating chamber is received at the axial opposite ends of a reduced-diameter portion of the shaft, and the suction pressure Ps from a suction chamber is received at the axial opposite ends of the one-piece member of the valve element and the shaft, thereby canceling out influence of the pressure Pc and the suction pressure Ps such that the valve element can be controlled only by the differential pressure sensed by the piston rod.
A displacement control valve for controlling an amount of refrigerant conducted out from a pressure-regulating chamber into a suction chamber, such that a differential pressure between pressure in the suction chamber and pressure in a discharge chamber is held at a predetermined differential pressure, to thereby change an amount of the refrigerant discharged from a variable displacement compressor,
