Page 18 Pump impeller suction cover The Rosenbauer pump N 100 is a single-stage high volume pump with spiral casing and diffusor. Because of the low nominal pump speed, the pump is best suited for direct connection (without a pump gearbox) to a low rpm engine, therefore a dramatic reduction of noise and harmful emission is achieved.
