Abstract: A centrifugal fan that is light in weight and has a structure that restrains vibration are provided. The centrifugal fan includes a resin upper casing, a resin lower casing, an impeller, a motor, and a circuit board. The impeller, the motor and the circuit board are housed between the resin upper casing and the resin lower casing. Radial ribs and a concentric ribs for reinforcing are formed at a bottom surface of a concave part of the lower casing. Resin pins are provided in a standing manner at these rib parts, and the circuit board is fixed to the lower casing by the resin pins.

Abstract: A valve device for a cooling water system of a motor vehicle, with a housing including a first connection and a second connection for a first liquid circuit, and a third connection and a fourth connection for a second liquid circuit, wherein the first connection is permanently fluidically connected to the second connection, and with a valve unit including a movably mounted valve element with which a thermally activatable spring element is associated, and which opens a connection between the third connection and the fourth connection in a first end position and cuts off the connection in a second end position. The thermally activatable spring element is arranged in a chamber located between the first connection and the second connection, which is permanently cut off from the third and the fourth connection and which preloads the valve element in the direction of the second end position.
