Abstract:
A fluid machine includes: a shaft portion; a shroud surrounding the shaft portion and including an inside surface that forms a flow path-forming surface defining a flow path with the shaft portion; a first propeller rotatably provided in the flow path; a second propeller rotatably provided on a downstream side of the first propeller in the flow path; and a motor including a rotor that is fixed to an outer circumferential portion of the second propeller and that is accommodated in the shroud, and a stator that surrounds the rotor via a clearance and that is fixed in the shroud. A portion of the flow path-forming surface on a downstream side of the second propeller decreases in diameter toward the downstream side, and the shroud includes an inlet flow path that is open at a portion between the first propeller and the second propeller of the flow path-forming surface.
