    Abstract: A centrifugal fan includes: an impeller having a back plate; and a scroll casing including a peripheral wall having a volute shape, a first side wall facing a virtual extension of the back plate and an inner end portion of the volute shape of the scroll casing, an expanded portion, and a first edge end portion being an end of a first edge defining the discharge port, of the first side wall, are arranged in a named order in the rotation direction, the first edge end portion being farther from the rotation shaft than an other end of the first edge and distance L1≥distance LM>distance LS is satisfied where LS is a distance between the first side wall at the inner end portion of the volute shape and the virtual extension of the back plate, LM is a distance between the first side wall at the expanded portion and the virtual extension of the back plate, the expanded portion being a portion at which the distance between the first side wall and the virtual extension of the back plate is larger than LS, and L1 is a distance between the first side wall at the first edge end portion and the virtual extension of the back plate.

    Abstract: An impeller includes: a main plate to be rotated; an annular side plate having a suction port for air; and blades in a circumferential direction. Each of the blades has: an inner peripheral end; an outer peripheral end; a sirocco blade portion that includes the outer peripheral end, and forms a forward-swept blade; and a turbo blade portion that includes the inner peripheral end and forms a swept-back blade. The blade has an end portion facing the suction port and a base portion connected to the main plate, and the end portion has a smaller thickness than that of the base portion in the sirocco blade portion. The end portion of the blade has a blade shape, and in the end portion having the blade shape, a first blade thickness of an inner circumferential side of the impeller is greater than a second blade thickness of the outer circumferential side.

    Abstract: A centrifugal blower includes a fan including a main plate having a disk-shape, and a plurality of blades, and a scroll casing configured to accommodate the fan. The scroll casing includes a discharge portion and a scroll portion including a side wall, a circumferential wall, and a tongue portion. The circumferential wall includes a curved circumferential wall and a flat circumferential wall. In comparison with a centrifugal blower including a standard circumferential wall having a logarithmic spiral shape in cross-section perpendicular to a rotational shaft of the fan, in the curved circumferential wall, at a first end being a boundary between the circumferential wall and the tongue portion and at a second end being a boundary between the circumferential wall and the discharge portion, a distance L1 between an axis of the rotational shaft and the circumferential wall is equal to a distance L2 between the axis of the rotational shaft and the standard circumferential wall.
