Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1429032A2] A centrifugal compressor has a plurality of inlet guide vanes (12a) arranged in a circumferential direction. An outer cylinder (14a) holding the inlet guide vanes (12a) has a larger inner diameter around the inlet guide vanes (12a) than diameters at other areas thereof. Likewise, an inner cylinder (13a) has a larger outer diameter around the inlet guide vanes (12a) than diameters at other areas thereof. Thereby, the inlet guide vanes (12a) can be improved in reliability even when the centrifugal compressor becomes high in suction pressure. <IMAGE>
