Abstract
Description
以上に説明した、本実施形態に係る圧縮機1が奏する作用効果について、比較例が有する課題と共に説明する。
図9に示す例では、曲がり流路63Aと曲がり流路65Aとを接続する直線流路64Aが鉛直方向D2から傾斜した方向に延在している。例えば、直線流路64Aは、直線流路62に対して鋭角をなす方向に延在している。これに応じて、曲がり流路65Aは、曲がり流路63Aに対して軸方向D1の吸入口42a側にずれた位置に配置されている。段間ハウジング44Aと第2ハウジング42Aとの境界を示す境界線L3Aは、境界線L31に代えて境界線L31A(第2境界線)を有している。境界線L31Aは、境界線L33(第1境界線)から上方に延在し、内周側壁面63aの終端P3aに接するように内周側壁面63aに倣って湾曲した後、第1壁面64aに沿って直線状に延在して境界線L35に接続される。
図10に示す例では、曲がり流路63Bが吸入口42aに直接接続されている。その結果、内周側壁面63aの始端P2a及び終端P3a、並びに外周側壁面63bの始端P2b及び終端P3bが鉛直方向D2において同じ位置に揃っている。段間ハウジング44Bと第2ハウジング42Bとの境界を示す境界線L3Bは、境界線L31に代えて境界線L31Bを有している。境界線L31Bは、内周側壁面63aと外周側壁面63bとの間を鉛直方向D2に延在している。境界線L31Bの下端は、鉛直方向D2において内周側壁面63aの始端P2aと同じ位置にあり、境界線L33(第1境界線)と接続されている。境界線L31Bの上端は、鉛直方向D2において内周側壁面63aの終端P3aと同じ位置にあり、境界線L35(第2境界線)に接続されている。
