Abstract:
A centrifugal compressor includes a rotary shaft of a compressor impeller, a gas bearing structure that supports the rotary shaft, a motor that rotates the rotary shaft, a motor housing that houses the motor, a compressor housing that houses the compressor impeller and includes an intake port and a discharge port, a gas bleed port that is provided closer to the discharge port than the compressor impeller in a flow direction in the compressor housing, a bearing cooling line that connects the gas bleed port to the gas bearing structure, and a heat exchanger that is disposed on the bearing cooling line. The heat exchanger is mounted on at least one of the motor housing and the compressor housing.
