Abstract:
A turbo fluid machine includes a rotary shaft configured to rotate in one rotational direction, and a thrust foil bearing that includes: a plurality of bump foils each having a corrugated shape and a plurality of top foils each having a bearing surface that faces a thrust collar. Each bump foil is divided into an outer peripheral foil and an inner peripheral foil in a radial direction of the rotary shaft. Ridges on the outer peripheral foil are inclined in the other rotational direction of the rotary shaft while extending from an edge of the outer peripheral foil adjacent to an inner peripheral side toward an outer peripheral side, and the ridges on the inner peripheral foil are inclined in the other rotational direction while extending from an edge of the inner peripheral foil adjacent to the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side.
