  • Publication number: 20210222704
    Abstract: A fan has an external rotor motor with a motor section and an electronics section. The motor section and the electronics section are arranged axially adjacent to each other along the axis of rotation. The fan, when operated as intended, generates, via the fan wheel, a pressure difference between its suction side, which is preferably associated with the rotor, and its pressure side, which is preferably associated with the motor electronics. A continuous cooling duct runs within the external rotor motor from a pressure-side inflow opening, at least along sections of the rotor, to a suction-side outflow opening. An exclusively passive cooling air flow through the cooling duct can be generated in operation by the pressure difference generated by the fan wheel.
