Original Abstract Submitted
A compressor is provided for use in domestic appliances. The compressor includes: an impeller including an inlet, an outlet, a hub defining a rotational axis of the impeller, a plurality of impeller blades that extend from the hub, and a shroud that at least partially surrounds the impeller blades; a housing that at least partially surrounds the shroud and that is coaxially arranged with respect to the rotational axis of the impeller to allow the impeller to rotate within the housing; a leakage flow path defined between the shroud and the housing leading from a leakage flow path inlet to a leakage flow path outlet; a labyrinth seal arrangement provided in the leakage flow path; and a flow straightening arrangement having an inlet at an outlet of the labyrinth seal arrangement.
