Typical Applications

Delphi's CVC is adaptable to a full range of commercial vehicles. While our current product portfolio includes CVC ranging from 125 cc displacement to 185 cc displacement, we will design and validate a CVC for your specific application. The CVC can be applied to both thermostatic expansion valve and orifice tube systems. Special options available include:

  • Electronic control
  • Clutchless with electronic control
  • Thermal fuse for drive belt protection
  • Flexible pulley and clutch configuration options
  • Various vehicle engine and refrigerant system interface options

Performance Advantages

The CVC's continuous displacement feature results in smooth, continuous compressor operation without clutch cycling, improving dehumidification and fuel economy. Through the use of its simple harmonic motion mechanism, preloaded shaft, optimized valve and porting system, and quiet clutch design, the CVC also delivers high-speed operation, best-in-class output per mass ratio, best-in-class output to volume, outstanding noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) characteristics, and enhanced control performance.
