Abstract
A blower assembly suitable for use in a vehicle heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a motor and a fan. The motor is configured to define an exit region where air that flows through the motor exits the motor. The centrifugal fan is configured to attach to a shaft of the motor. The fan defines a plurality of passageways configured to allow the air from the motor to pass through the fan. The passageways are configured to minimize noise caused by the air drawn through the motor.
