Abstract
A centrifugal compressor includes impellers arranged in a plurality of stages in a direction of an axis line so that a working fluid flowing from one side inlet in the direction of the axis line is pumped outward in a radial direction, and a casing that surrounds the impellers, and that has a return channel through which the working fluid discharged from the impeller on a front stage side between the impellers adjacent to each other is guided inward in the radial direction so as to be introduced to the impeller on a rear stage side, and a plurality of return vanes disposed at an interval in a circumferential direction inside the return channel. The return vane is configured so that the thickness of a hub side in a leading edge side region is thicker than the thickness of a shroud side.
