Abstract
In an air conditioning unit that cools a motor of a fan by partially introducing an air blown by the fan into the motor, a case has a wall for defining an air introduction chamber adjacent to an air passage. The air introduction chamber has an air inlet and an air outlet so that the blown air is partially introduced into the motor from the air passage through the air introduction chamber. The wall of the air introduction chamber slopes downwardly toward the air inlet and defines a lowest portion within the air introduction chamber. The air inlet is positioned adjacent to the lowest portion of the air introduction chamber.
