Abstract
A radial compressor, in particular radial compressor of an exhaust gas turbocharger, with an impeller, a stationary housings, a main flow passage defined by the housing for feeding a medium to be compressed in the direction of the impeller, and a secondary flow chamber arranged radially outside the main flow passage, which is delimited from the main flow passage by a contour wall and which is connected to the main flow passage via a secondary flow opening in the region of the impeller. Seen in the meridian section, the secondary flow opening, via which the secondary flow chamber is connected to the main flow passage in the region of the impeller, is set obliquely or inclined relative to a radial direction.
