Abstract
A backfeed stage of a radial turbo fluid energy machine for deflecting a flow direction of a process fluid issuing from a rotor, rotating around an axis, from radially outward to radially inward, having a backfeed duct which has three adjacent sections in the flow direction, wherein a first section is designed for conducting the process fluid radially outward, wherein a second section is designed for deflecting the process fluid from the radially outward to radially inward direction, wherein a third section is designed for conducting the process fluid radially inward, wherein the second section and third section, or only the third section, have/has first guide vanes which define flow passages of the backfeed duct in relation to each other in the circumferential direction.
