Abstract
A centrifugal blower is provided with a casing which defines a spiral duct and a centrifugal fan which is rotationally provided within the casing. The centrifugal fan has a bottom plate and a plurality of blades which are equally spaced along the periphery of the bottom plate. The plurality of blades extends parallel to the rotational axis. The duct is arranged to reduce the size of a low velocity air flow zone which is generated in an upper radially outer region in the spiral duct. The low velocity air flow zone, which appears in an upper radially outer region in the air duct, is reduced to reduce surging in the blower.
