<p>A centrifugal compressor can be provided with which frequency of noise produced by rotation of the impeller having a plurality of blades does not resonate with natural frequency of vibration of gas in a plurality of axial slots which serve to increase gas flow rate in an operation range of increased gas flow rate and broaden stable operation range in an operation range of decreased gas flow rate resulting in reduction of noise caused by rotation of the impeller. The axial slots are formed between the peripheral part of the inlet passage of the compressor housing by the peripheral surface of the inlet passage and an annular ring part of the housing supported by a plurality of struts extending from the peripheral surface, four or more struts are provided to support the annular ring part, and all but one of them are located at positions which will be determined when all the struts are located at circumferentially equal spacing and one of the struts is shifted circumferentially from one of said positions by a certain central angle.</p> |
