Abstract
A centrifugal compressor includes: an impeller; a compressor inlet tube configured to guide air to the impeller; a scroll flow passage disposed on a radially outer side of the impeller; a bypass flow passage branching from the scroll flow passage via a branch port, the bypass flow passage connecting to the compressor inlet tube not via the impeller; and a bypass valve capable of opening and closing a valve port disposed in the bypass flow passage. The branch port has a non-circular shape when viewed along a normal N1 of the branch port passing through a center of the branch port.
