Abstract

The turbomachine comprises a casing (26), there being arranged in the casing an impeller (23) arranged on a driven shaft. The turbomachine has an inflow region (21) and an outflow region (22) and, in operation, is flowed through by a working medium. The working medium flows into the inflow region, along a front side (23a) formed on the impeller and subsequently out of the outflow region, there being a pressure drop at the front side between the inflow region and the outflow region. A pressure divider (9) is arranged on the rear side of the impeller, opposite the front side.
