A radial centrifugal turbomachine with an adjusting device operatively active at the axial inlet of the turbomachine fixed casing, including: an annular member delimiting at least one radially inner passage at the axial inlet, wherein the member front surface and abutment surface of the casing delimit a radial annular passage. An actuator is connected to the member and to move axially and/or rotate according to a predefined angle to vary the radial annular passage and/or passage sections delimited between stator blades of the turbomachine first radial stage. A transmission shaft coaxial with the rotation axis and integral with the member is operatively connected to the actuator. The adjusting device allows adjusting the mass flow rate at the inlet to better adapt the performances of the turbomachine to the loading of the process/cycle and to implement a safety system dedicated to stopping the turbomachine in case of an urgent stop request.
