Rotating device
A rotating device includes a shaft, an impeller fixed to the shaft, a motor causing the impeller to rotate, and a casing accommodating the impeller and the motor. The casing includes a suction port and a discharge port for a fluid. The casing and a heat sink are adjacent in a radial direction of the impeller. The heat sink includes a first part adjacent to the discharge port and a second part disposed inside the discharge port. The first part is in contact with a heat pipe. The second part is in contact with the casing in an axial direction of the impeller.
