Abstract: A radial compressor having an impeller having a housing with a radially outer and a radially inner insertion section a main flow channel for suppling a medium towards the impeller, a circulation chamber radially outside of the main flow channel separated from the main flow channel by a contour wall and connected to the insertion section via struts. The main flow channel is delimited by the contour wall and by a first segment of the insertion section. The struts engage with a second segment of the insertion section. The second segment of the insertion section engages with a downstream end of the first segment of the insertion section. The upstream end of the first segment of the insertion section protrudes freely in the direction of the contour wall. The first segment of the insertion section has a constant thickness.

Abstract: A turbo machine, having a housing and, an impeller received in the housing. The housing has at least two housing parts connected to one another via a flange connection. A first housing part of the housing parts has threaded bores for connecting screws. A second housing part of the housing parts connected to one another has through-bores for the connecting screws. The second housing part lies against the first housing part with a first face and screw heads of the connecting screws lie against an opposite second face of the second housing part. The through-bores of the second housing part on and adjacent to the second face have a smaller cross-sectional area than on and adjacent to the first face.

Abstract: A radial compressor, with a compressor rotor, a compressor housing having a radially outer and a radially inner insert section, a main flow channel for supplying a medium toward the compressor rotor, a circulation chamber arranged radially outside of the main flow channel, which is separated from the main flow channel by a contour wall connected with the main flow channel via circulation openings to the insert section via struts extending into the circulation chamber. The main flow channel is bordered by the contour wall, and upstream from the contour wall by an upstream portion of the insert section. A suction element is arranged upstream from the compressor housing, whose radially outer portion adjoins the spiral housing section, and whose radially inner portion adjoins the upstream portion of the insert section. Adjoining surfaces of the suction element and the insert section lie on a cylindrical surface.
