Abstract
A blower unit, particularly for an apparatus for assisting respiration, comprises a housing (2), an impeller (1) accommodated in an impeller chamber (3) in the housing (2), and a motor (12), connected to the impeller (1) via a shaft (15), which is accommodated in a motor chamber (13) in the housing (2). The motor (12) is fixed between walls (14, 18) of the motor chamber (13) by means of buffers, with at least one of the buffers being a sealing ring (16) which separates the shaft (15) from a passage for cooling air (33) which, in radial section, extends annularly around the motor (12).
