Diffusing apparatus for converting the dynamic head of a flowing stream of fluid discharged from a compressor into static pressure, said apparatus comprising: first diffusing means receiving said fluid from said compressor for decelerating said fluid from a first velocity to a second velocity; means disposed downstream of said first diffusing means for accelerating said fluid to a third velocity having a magnitude greater than the magnitude of said second velocity; and second diffusing means disposed downstream of said accelerating means for decelerating said fluid from said third velocity to a fourth velocity having a magnitude less than the magnitude of said second velocity; means disposed downstream of said second diffusing means for suddenly expanding said fluid to reduce the velocity of said fluid to a fifth velocity having a magnitude less than the magnitude of said fourth velocity.
