Abstract
A centrifugal compressor includes: a rotating shaft; a first impeller; a second impeller which is disposed on a downstream side of the first impeller; a return flow path which guides a first fluid flowing to a radially outer side from the first impeller toward a radially inner side; an introduction flow path which introduces the fluid guided to the radially inner side to the second impeller; an intermediate suction flow path which additionally supplies a second fluid to the second impeller; and a curved flow path which is connected to a downstream side of the introduction flow path and the intermediate suction flow path, and guides the first fluid and the second fluid to the second impeller, wherein a side surface on an upstream side of the introduction flow path is disposed on the downstream side from a return position of the return flow path.
