bathroom extractor fan

I can't really see why a Centrifugal fan is going to be any better. The specs give the data you need to make comparisons.

Axial fans don't work well down a long exhaust vent, because the air in the vent tends to rotate.

You probably have, in a shorter version.

hi, well it seems like i need a decent centrifugal fan to help the problem as the ducting is about 4metres long and i dont think the axial fan is sending the air down with enough force. i would like to buy on ebay as i have paypal funds and just wondered whether any of these would be ok as i'm not that sure what i'm looking for. the current fan runs off a red and black wire and powers on when the light is switched on. i'm not sure if its low voltage but i doubt it as it only a cheapy fan (greenwood airvac ax100-b) cheapest one but unbranded?

Sorry - its appearance makes it appear to be an axial fan - the air being pulled by a propeller device on a shaft driven by a motor - the air moves in line with the axis of the motor.

Centrifugal - the air is flung outwards by a vaned impellor therefore it is travelling at right angles to the axis of the motor and needs a duct arrangement to manage the direction of the air into a duct.
