When Compressor Is In Regular Operation

When the pressure in the high-pressure chamber of the compressor increases, the pressure overcomes the spring tension and pushes the check ball against its seat, so the trigger valve closes. The oil port pressure coming through the side block is applied to the end surface of vane to maintain proper back pressure.
