Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3012461A1] Provided is a centrifugal compressor in which a malfunction such as shaft vibration due to rotating stall is suppressed, and degradation of performance due to friction losses or the like is suppressed. In a centrifugal compressor (10) including a diffuser section (15) for circulating fluid discharged from an impeller (13), a flow path width W2 of the diffuser section (15) at an inflow position where the fluid flows in the diffuser section (15) is narrower than a flow path width W1 of the impeller (13) at a discharge position where the fluid is discharged from the impeller (13), and a flow path width enlarged section (15c) wider than the flow path width W1 of diffuser section (15) at the inflow position is provided on a downstream side with respect to the inflow position of the diffuser section (15).
