Abstract

An electric motor fan comprises a fan driven by a motor, a case with the fan mounted therein and including a scroll providing an air outlet port of the fan, and a control unit including an output transistor for controlling the drive of the motor. The control unit includes a heat radiation device mounted in the scroll for radiating the heat generated by the transistor. At least a part of the heat radiation device is formed as a radiation fin having an internal surface in the same plane as the internal wall surface of the scroll.
