Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3922860A1] Disclosed is a centrifugal fan including a backing plate to be rotated, a ring-shaped rim facing the backing plate, and a plurality of blades arranged to surround a virtual rotation axis of the backing plate, the plurality of blades being arranged between the backing plate and the rim and each having an inner edge and an outer edge, wherein a blade chord distance has a maximum at one of first cross-sections that is located closer to the rim than to a middle cross-section where the first cross-sections are cross-sections of each of the plurality of blades in planes parallel to the backing plate, the blade chord distance is a linear distance between the inner edge and the outer edge of each of the plurality of blades in each of the first cross-sections, and the middle cross-section is one of the first cross-sections that has an intersection of the outer edge with a plane perpendicular to the virtual rotation axis, the plane being at a middle of an axial opening dimension of an air outlet defined between a periphery of the rim and a periphery of the backing plate, the axial opening dimension being defined as a dimension along the virtual rotation axis.
