In addition, a mechanism provided to remove swirl from the swirling flow in the form of profile ribs (17). Where the outlet rotor blades have a high Mach number flow, which leads to a large opening angle of the blading, the diffuser is subdivided into several partial diffusers (16) via sheet metal guides (15). | |
