CENTRIFUGAL FAN AND THERMAL MODULE HAVING THE SAME

摘要

A centrifugal fan includes a housing and an impeller rotatably received in the housing. The housing defines an air inlet in a top plate thereof and an air outlet in a sidewall thereof. The air inlet is perpendicular to the air outlet. The impeller includes a hub and a plurality of blades extending outwardly from a sidewall of the hub. Each of the blades includes an inner blade section connected with the sidewall of the hub and an outer blade section extending outwardly from the inner blade section. An upper portion of the inner blade section is curved upwardly and forwardly from a curved lower portion of the inner blade section towards an adjacent front blade. The curved lower portion has a curvature smaller than that of the upper portion.
