ABSTRACT:
A centrifugal fan is mounted to an inner plate of a centrifugal clutch as a heat-generating rotating device, and an intake port of a casing is formed near a front side in the axial direction of the centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan includes a base plate connected to the inner plate of the centrifugal clutch, plural fins formed on the base plate, blow-off holes each formed between arbitrary adjacent fins and extending axially through the base plate, and guide walls for guiding a radially outward air flow over the base plate into the blow-off holes. Air just after admitted from the intake port passes through the blow-off holes and is blown against the centrifugal clutch.
