A centrifugal multi-blade fan has multiple blades about a rotational shaft and draws in air along the rotational shaft and then blows the air approximately perpendicular to the rotational shaft to reduce wind noise. A scroll casing encloses the multi-blade fan and defines a scroll-shaped airflow passage for directing the air blown from the multi-blade fan. The scroll casing has an intake opening and an outlet opening at a scroll end, in a downstream scroll casing portion. The scroll casing expands such that a flow passage cross-sectional area on the airflow downstream side is larger than that on an airflow upstream side. A ratio of a blade length to a diameter of the multi-blade fan is greater than or equal to 0.12, and an outer scroll casing radius, relative to the rotational axis, increases as a logarithmic spiral, its expansion angle being from 3.3° to 4.8°.
