Abstract (en)

A compressor is disclosed wherein a diffuser flow path is curved in a radial direction in the vicinity of an outlet of a mixed-flow turbine (1), and guide vanes (7) each having a height larger than a maximum radius (rb) at the outlet of the mixed-flow turbine (1) are arranged in the form of a circular wing row at the curved portion on a flow path surface of the diffuser plate (4) located toward a side plate. Thus, it is possible to keep uniform the flow within the diffuser (6) and to enhance the performance of the compressor. In addition, the axial length of the compressor may be shortened to thereby make the compressor compact in size. <IMAGE>
