Abstract: A diffuser is proposed which is formed as the gap between rotationally-symmetric surfaces which face each other. Moving in the radial direction, the axial extent of the gap generally decreases to a minimum value in a throat portion of the diffuser, and then generally increases again. The distance from the rotational axis of the compressor to the throat may be approximately at least 125% of the radius of the compressor wheel. The inventors have found that a throat at this distance from the rotational axis may lead to higher efficiency at high flow rates, especially for relatively low turbo speeds. This is because the spacing between the compressor wheel and the throat permits diffusion of the gas streams leaving the compressor wheel.
