Capacity regulation The capacity regulation takes place through the turning off of the suction gas flows by means of a solenoid valve on the cylinder cover. For this, the valve is activated electrically by a thermostat or pressostat. During normal operation the solenoid is de-energized and the suction gas channel in the valve plate and in the cylinder cover is open.
