  • Publication number: 20230417255
    Abstract: In the centrifugal compressor, the return channel is provided between a hub-side wall surface and a shroud-side wall surface. The return channel includes a front set of vanes arranged in a circular array on the upstream side and a rear set of vanes arranged in a circular array on the downstream side. The front set of vanes and the rear set of vanes are both formed on the shroud-side wall surface. The front set of vanes is formed on an annular member that is formed separately from the rear set of vanes. The annular member is fitted to the return channel. According to the above, it is possible to improve the tangential velocity component removal ability of front and rear vanes provided in the return channel of a centrifugal compressor.
