Abstract:
An exhaust hood (Ec) of the present invention is provided with an inner casing (21), an outer casing (30), and a diffuser (26). The inner casing (21) surrounds a rotor from the outside in a radial direction, and forms a first space (21s) in which a fluid flows in an axial direction (Da) between the rotor and the inner casing (21). The diffuser (26) is provided with a bearing cone (29) that has a diameter that gradually widens moving towards an axial downstream side (Dad) and forms a cylindrical shape extending to the axial downstream side (Dad) to be continuous with the outer circumferential surface of a rotor shaft that forms the first space (21s). An end edge (29a) on the axial downstream side (Dad) of the bearing cone (29) forms an oval shape in which, in a direction orthogonal to an axial line (Ar), a distance (R2an) between the axial line (Ar) and a second cone end part (29ab) of a second side (Dan) is greater than a distance (R2ex) between the axial line (Ar) and a first cone end part (29aa) of a first side (Dex).
