Abstract
A centrifugal air blower includes a casing having a spiral scroll, an impeller contained in the casing, an inlet side panel having an inlet, and a motor-fixing side panel fixing a motor. The centrifugal air blower further includes a first triangle wall and a second triangle wall at a discharge outlet opposite to a tongue. The triangle wall where air velocity inside the casing is slower is shaped with a longer vector component (length B) in the direction from the discharge outlet to the impeller than the other triangle wall. This configuration makes the air velocity near the discharge outlet uniform and suppresses a decrease of static pressure, an increase of power consumption, and turbulent flow noise.
