Abstract
A turbo fluid machine includes a housing having a motor chamber, a turbine chamber, a first shaft hole, and a second shaft hole; a drive shaft; and a sealing member that seals a gap between the motor chamber and the turbine chamber. The sealing member includes a first sealing member and a second sealing member that is located away from the first sealing member and between the first sealing member and the turbine chamber in an axial direction of the drive shaft. The drive shaft, the second shaft hole, the first sealing member, and the second sealing member cooperate to form a reservoir in which water contained in exhaust from a fuel cell is stored. The housing has a water discharge passage which is communicated with the reservoir and through which the water is discharged from the reservoir to an outside of the housing.
