Abstract

A blower (10) configured to be positioned in confined spaces and to provide ventilation of a fluid, such as temperature controlled air, is disclosed. In various embodiments, the blower (10) is configured to have a reduced axial thickness, which can be desired in such confined spaces. In some embodiments, the blower (10) has an integral filter (28), a wire channel for the routing of one or more wires, or an exposed backplate (88). In some embodiments, the blower (10) has a snap- fit circuit board (44), containment system for mounting a motor, one or more vanes for directing fluid flow, a shrouded impeller (48), and an integrated connector.
