Abstract
An inner surface of a peripheral wall of a scroll casing includes an initial section, which extends from a circumferentially projected end of a nose. The initial section includes a slant surface. The slant surface is angled relative to a rotational axis of a fan such that an axially remote part of the slant surface, which is axially remote from an air inlet of the scroll casing, is radially closer to blades of the fan in comparison to an axially less remote part of the slant surface, which is axially less remote from the air inlet in comparison to the axially remote part.
