    Abstract: A novel diffuser (11) for a centrifugal turbomachine (1) to reduce or prevent stall. The diffuser includes diffuser vanes (11.1) arranged around a diffuser axis (A-A). Each diffuser vane (11.1) includes: a leading edge (11.3), a trailing edge (11.5), a suction side (11.7) facing radially inwardly, and a pressure side (11.9) facing radially outwardly. A respective flow passage is defined between the suction side (11.7) of a first diffuser vane (11.1) and the pressure side (11.9) of a second diffuser vane (11.1) of each pair of adjacently arranged diffuser vanes. The diffuser vanes (11.1) are arranged with a non-constant pitch around the diffuser axis (A- A). The pitch (S1, S2) between each pair of adjacently arranged first diffuser vane (11.1) and second diffuser vane (11.1) defining a respective flow passage therebetween is correlated to a chord of one of said first diffuser vane (11.1) and second diffuser vane (11.1).
