Zusammenfassung:A fan assembly includes a motor-driven impeller for creating an air flow, at least one heater for heating a first portion of the air flow, and a casing comprising at least one air outlet for emitting the first portion of the air flow, and first channel means for conveying the first portion of the air flow to said at least one air outlet. To cool part of the casing, the casing includes means for diverting a second portion of the air flow away from said at least one heater, and second channel means for conveying the second portion of the air flow along an internal surface of the casing. This second portion of the air flow may merge with the first portion of the air flow within the casing, or it may be emitted through at least one second air outlet of the casing, preferably over an external surface of the casing.
