Abstract
A centrifugal blower assembly comprises a scroll wall and a pair of opposing sidewalls. The scroll wall is positioned between the pair of opposing sidewalls such that the scroll wall and opposing sidewalls together define a blower chamber and a blower outlet. A baffle element is positioned within the blower chamber and adjacent the blower outlet such that the baffle element is configured to facilitate uniform distribution of airflow downstream of the blower assembly. An air stream splitter is coupled to the scroll wall. The air stream splitter includes a spline member extending a varying distance from the scroll wall. The air stream splitter is positioned within the blower chamber to facilitate uniform airflow distribution within the blower assembly.
