Abstract

An inner diameter (d.sub.2) of a centrifugal-type multiple-vane fan at a side where the motor is inserted (i.e., the insertion side) is larger than an inner diameter (d.sub.1) of the centrifugal-type multiple-vane fan at a side where the motor is not inserted (i.e., the non-insertion side), such that the ratio of a difference between an outer diameter (D) and the inner diameter (d.sub.2) of the centrifugal-type multiple-vane fan of the insertion side to a difference between the outer diameter (D) and the inner diameter (d.sub.1) of the centrifugal-type multiple-vane fan of the non-insertion side is in a range of 0.6-0.95. Thus, a centrifugal-type blower having the centrifugal-type multiple-vane fan can obtain a desired air volume while maintaining a small size of the centrifugal-type blower.
