FIELD: mechanical engineering; compressors of gas-turbine engines.
SUBSTANCE: proposed housing of compressor includes axially convex inner surface located around row of impeller blades with radial clearance between surface and blades. Edges at tip of blades add to housing contour, thus reducing losses on ends at blade tips and blocking of flow.
EFFECT: improved reliability in operation.
