Centrifugal fan
A centrifugal fan includes an impeller, and a lower casing provided below the impeller. The impeller includes an upper shroud having an upper portion formed with an inlet, a lower shroud, and a plurality of blades arranged along a circumference direction between the upper shroud and the lower shroud. The blades extend from an inner side area to an outer side area in a radial direction, and are only connected to the lower shroud with the inner side area such that at least an outer circumferential side portion of each blade faces an upper surface of the lower casing. A surface of the lower casing, which faces the impeller, configures a portion of a wall surface which guides the fluid introduced from the inlet. A surface of each blade at a side of a leading edge portion is formed with a discontinuous portion having a step shape.
