When Compressor Starts Or When Load Is Low

When the compressor starts or when the load is low (the high-pressure level is low), the spring can raise the check ball clear of its seat, so the trigger valve is opened. The pressure of the high-pressure chamber then acts on the back end surface of each vane to prevent it from chattering.
