The discharge volute is provided to expand inward in an axis line direction of the casing.

Abstract: Flanges of half bodies provided in a compressor casing are fastened by multiple bolts and a multi-hole washer shared by two or more adjacent bolts. When F is fastening force, T is a thickness of the washer, ? is a distribution angle of the fastening force, Rb is a radius of the bolt, R is a radius of a distribution range of the fastening force on a bearing surface, A is an area of the distribution range on the surface, a is an area of a distribution range of the fastening force on a mating surface of the flange, and R=Rb+T·tan ? and A=?R2 are established, F/A is lower than yield strength of each of a flange material and a multi-hole washer material, and F/a is equal to or higher than predetermined surface pressure determined based on pressure of fluid inside the casing.

Abstract: A centrifugal compressor that includes a rotor including a shaft rotatably supported in a casing and an impeller secured to an outer periphery of the shaft; a diaphragm surrounding the impeller from an outer peripheral side; a suction side casing head disposed so as to be spaced apart from the diaphragm on a side where a fluid is suctioned; a temperature adjusting mechanism that is provided in the suction side casing head and configured to adjust a temperature of environment by flow of a heat medium; a heat shield that is provided between the suction side casing head and the diaphragm and defines, together with the impeller, a suction flow path through which the fluid is introduced to the impeller; and a plurality of straightening vanes that are provided in the suction flow path and configured to straighten the fluid flowing through the suction flow path.

Abstract: A centrifugal compressor according to the present invention includes, as gas flow paths, diffuser flow paths into which process gas flowing from impellers to outside in a radial direction flows, curved flow paths that respectively communicate with the diffuser flow paths and change a flowing direction of the process gas from a direction toward the outside in the radial direction to a direction toward inside in the radial direction, and return flow paths that respectively communicate with the curved flow paths and cause the process gas flowing through the curved flow paths to flow into the impellers. In the present invention, the curved flow path configuring at least one of the gas flow paths is provided between a diaphragm and a flow path forming body that is provided between the diaphragm and the casing.

Abstract: In a vulcanizing system of the present invention, a temperature booster and a pressure booster are provided on a steam supply path connecting vulcanizers that belong to groups and a boiler allocated to the groups. The temperature booster and the pressure booster are sequentially arranged from an upstream side, a second branch supply path for supplying the steam to a mold between the temperature booster and the pressure booster is branched from the steam supply path. The second branch supply path is preferably in a form of allowing the steam temperature-boosted by the temperature booster to be supplied to the mold by bypassing the pressure booster.
