Abstract

Provided are a turbo compressor which is provided with an impeller rotating about a rotating shaft, and a seal part having a facing portion which faces an outer diameter portion of a hub of the impeller in a radial direction, in which a shunting groove for foreign matter which has infiltrated between the outer diameter portion and the facing portion is formed in the seal part, and a turbo refrigerating machine which is provided with the turbo compressor.

Claims (86)
