Abstract:
A centrifugal compressor includes: an impeller fixed on an outer periphery of a rotary shaft; a diffuser disposed at a radially outer side of the impeller; a casing accommodating the impeller and the diffuser; a scroll flow passage connected to an outlet of the diffuser, the scroll flow passage being formed into a scroll shape by a scroll inner peripheral wall and a scroll outer peripheral wall positioned at a radially outer side of the scroll inner peripheral wall; and a discharge pipe connected to the casing so as to form a discharge flow passage for guiding a fluid from the scroll flow passage to outside of the casing. The scroll inner peripheral wall is positioned at an inner side, in a radial direction, of the outlet of the diffuser, and the discharge pipe includes an inner wall surface which has a radially inner region.
