ABSTRACT:
A turbo-type fluid machine comprises a mouth ring part provided between a shroud of an impeller and a pump casing and having a seal function. The mouth ring part comprises an impeller ring on a side of the shroud of the impeller and a casing ring provided on a side of a non-rotating body wall surface of the casing. The impeller ring is structured to have a stepped portion that is in the form of a staircase with at least two steps to be small in diameter toward a suction side of the impeller and large in diameter toward an outlet of the impeller. The casing ring is labyrinth-shaped to comprise a projection and a recess. A narrow clearance part having a narrow radial clearance is formed between the projection and the impeller ring. A flow passage spatial portion defining an enlarged portion of the narrow radial clearance is formed by the recess and the stepped portion of the impeller ring.
