An exemplary centrifugal fan includes a housing and an impeller received in the housing. The housing defines an air inlet and an air outlet thereof. Airflow driven by the impeller flows out of the housing via the air outlet. The housing further defines an opening adjacent to one end of the air outlet. The ambient air out of the centrifugal fan enters the housing via the opening, and flows out of the housing via the air outlet.

Centrifugal fan with ancillary airflow opening

An exemplary heat dissipating fan includes a frame and an impeller rotatably received in the frame. The frame includes a base and a top cover disposed on the base, the base includes a bottom plate a peripheral sidewall. The sidewall extends between the bottom plate and the top cover, and the base and the top cover cooperatively defines a receiving space. The impeller is rotatably received in the receiving space. The top cover, the bottom cover and the sidewall cooperatively define an air inlet therebetween. The top cover, the bottom plate and the sidewall cooperatively define an outlet therebetween. The air outlet is generally adjacent to and substantially perpendicular to the air inlet.

Heat dissipating fan with lateral air inlet and outlet

An exemplary heat dissipation fan includes a housing and an impeller. The housing includes a casing. The casing includes a bottom wall and a side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall. The impeller is received in the housing. The impeller includes a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially and outwardly from the hub. Each blade has a distal end facing the side wall of the casing. The inner side of the side wall depressed towards an outer side of the casing.
