Capacity control is the process by which the flow of the discharged gas from the compressor is controlled. This can be accomplished by several method.

1. Controlling the speed of the compressor.

2. Controlling the clearance of the compressor.

3. Throttling the suction valve.

4. Suction valve unloader.
