Abstract
The present invention provides a centrifugal compressor (1) including: a first casing (19); a second casing (20) which is disposed on a downstream side of the first casing (19) and has an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the first casing; a first impeller (3a) which is disposed on a radially inner side of the first casing; a first return flow path (29a) which is disposed on a radially inner side of the first casing; a second impeller (3b) which is disposed on a radially inner side of the second casing and connected to a downstream side of the first return flow path (29a); an intermediate suction flow path (10) which is disposed on the radially inner side of the second casing and additionally supplies the fluid to a flow path between the first return flow path (29a) and the second impeller (3b); and a second return flow path (29b) which is disposed on the radially inner side of the second casing (20), wherein an outer diameter of the intermediate suction flow path (10) and an outer diameter of the second return flow path (29b) are larger than the outer diameter of the first casing (19).
