Abstract

An electric motor operated impeller has a drive motor having a motor shaft, a stator and a rotor rotated about a rotary axis, an impeller housing having a receiving casing which extends in direction of the rotary axis of the rotor and accommodating the electric drive motor. The receiving casing has a wall against which the stator of the drive motor radially abuts a bottom and an opposite edge. A support supports the shaft of the motor and is provided with throughflow openings for cooling air. The wall of the casing has at least one channel-shaped expansion extending parallel to the rotary axis and formed so that the expansion is open toward the edge of the casing and closed toward the bottom of the casing.
