Radial diffuser. A diffuser for a centrifugal compressor has diffusing passages of circular or oval cross section which converge toward a throat and then diverge. The passages are of generally spiral curvature, at least in the converging portion. The entrances of the diffuser passages merge to define leading edges of generally elliptical shape between the passages.
