Abstract

A centrifugal blower includes a centrifugal fan having a main plate and a side plate facing each other in a direction of a rotation axis, and a casing to house the centrifugal fan. The casing has a peripheral wall extending along an outer circumferential edge of the centrifugal fan, and has a tongue portion at a position on the peripheral wall. A distance between the outer circumferential edge of the centrifugal fan and the tongue portion is smaller on the main plate side of the centrifugal fan than on the side plate side of the centrifugal fan.
