Abstract

A fan unit (1), in particular for an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, comprising an electric motor (2) for driving a fan wheel (3), an electronic device (7) which generates waste heat and provides electrical current to the electric motor (2) and a fan housing (6), wherein the fan wheel (3) is disposed together with the electric motor (2) in an air guiding region (5) delimited by the fan housing (6). Provision is thereby made for the electronic device (7) to be fastened to the side of the fan housing (6) which faces away from the air guiding region (5) in a heat transferring manner so that a heat transfer connection is formed between the electronic device (7) and the air guiding region (5).
