Hydromatic Stinger Technical Description
Technical Description
Water pump
The pump consists mainly of the pump pressure casing, impellers,
pump shaft, diffusers, and pump shaft sealing.
The water penetrates the impeller via the suction inlet. This
process is called axial feed, since the water flows in the direction
of the central axis.
The water which enters through the suction inlet is then seized by
theimpeller(impellerblades);therebythewaterisdeflectedby90 °
andflung out ofthe impeller inthe direction verticallyto the shaft.
This is called radial discharge.
The water delivery depends mainly on the effect of centrifugal
force, therefore this type of pump is called a centrifugal pump.
Between the impeller and the diffuser, there is a small gap and the
diffuser, fixed on the pump casing, is stationary. The gap is
necessary in order to prevent the impeller and diffuser from
touching.
The energy of a streaming liquid is composed of velocity and
pressureforces andthe energyof velocitycan betransformed into
pressure. The water is discharged from the impeller at high
velocity and this transformation of velocity into pressure takes
place in the diffuser.
The cross sectional area through which the water passes from
entering the diffuser until leaving it, is enlarged gradually. The
velocitydecreaseswhilethestreamingquantityremainsunchanged.
Thepipecrosssectionsaredimensionedastobelargeenoughthat
the proportion of the velocity of the total energy at the pressure
outlet of the pump is so small that it can be ignored in comparison
to the proportion of pressure. Therefore only the suction lift of the
pump (which is the sum of the indications on the manometer and
vacuummeter) is mentioned.
Be certain that the pump is not operated with closed valves for a
long period; a temperature increase results.
Disengage the pump if no water is discharged for a long period!
ATTENTION !
Itisstrictlyprohibitedto makeanymodificationsonpumpwithout
approval of ROSENBAUER.

Technical Description
Drive and gearbox
The pump is either driven by the vehicles power take off or by a
separate pump engine. If necessary, a pump gearbox delivers the
requiredcapacity bya set ratioin relationto the enginespeed and
output capacity. If necessary, the pump gearbox is equipped with
a separate cooler whereby discharged water cools down the
gearbox oil.
Water pump
The Rosenbauer pump N 100 is a single-stage high volume pump
with spiral casing and diffusor.
Becauseofthelownominalpumpspeed,thepumpisbestsuitedfor
direct connection (without a pump gearbox) to a low rpm engine,
therefore a dramatic reduction of noise and harmful emission is
achieved.
The hydraulic dimensioning and the high efficiency makes a very
flat pump-curve with a differantial pressure between rated- and
close off pressure of only 2 bar at constant output. Based on the T-
typesuctioncover,thepumphasverycompactdimensionsandcan
be integrated into pipework very easily. The stainless steel pump
shaft is supported on the suction side by a cylinder roller bearing
and on the pressure side by a taper and a ball bearing.
A maintenance free axial face seal seals the pump on the pressure
side and on suction side two shaft seals are installed.
The pump shaft is directed through the suction cover and ends in
a belt drive to drive auxiliary units.
Thecentrifugalwaterpumpwithdiffuserandimpelleraremadeof
corrosion resistant light alloy or bronze.

Hydromatic Stinger Technical Description
Computing maximum lift
Liftis measured fromthe surface ofthe
static source to the centerline of the
pump. The height of possible lift is not
affectedbytheangleofthe intake hose,
but depends on the vacuum that the
pump(primingpump)canproduceand
the atmospheric pressure.
Theoretically, at sea level a pump can
lift water 10 m (33.8 feet). A perfect
vacuum is impossible with a fire pump
andtherewillbe loss duetofriction,so
the maximum lift is nearer to 6 - 7.6 m
(20 to 25 feet).
The height that water can be lifted
decreases with altitude by about 0.3 m
(1 foot) for each 300 m (1000 feet) of
elevation.
The weather also affects drafting, but
to a smaller degree.
Priming system KAP 600
Sinceacentrifugalpumpisnotaselfsuctionpump,aprimingpump
system is installed, which removes air from the pump allowing the
subsequentvacuumtofillthepumpwithwater. Thepistonpriming
pump is mounted with a pivot on the suction cover. It is driven by
two V-belts and a belt tightening device. The priming pump has to
be engaged only for the priming procedure.
The housing and the pistons are made of corrosion resistant light
alloy. The cylinder liners are made of stainless steel.
Two pistons, provided with sealing and guide rings, are fitted
together in a single unit. This double piston is driven by a sliding
pad, which is driven by an eccentric shaft.
Themoving parts areoilbath lubricated andsuction and pressure
valves are concentrically arranged in the cylinder heads (valve
covers).
priming pump
Working principle:
Upon engaging the priming pump (**) the ball valve mounted in
the suction line will be opened. At the same time, the V-belts for
driving the piston priming pump are tightened by a pneumatic
cylinder. The priming pump now has approximately twice the
speed of the centrifugal pump.
The rotating eccentric moves the piston to and fro. By the move-
ments of the piston the vacuum (priming stroke) and simultaneous
pressure (pressure stroke) are produced. The diaphragm-design
valves are concentrically placed in the suction covers. The pump
system is evacuated and water is forced into the water pump.
As soon as water is discharged from the piston priming pump the
primingprocedureiscompleted(**).Thesuctionvalveclosesand
the V-belts are released from tension via a pneumatic cylinder.
When the water column breaks, this procedure is to be repeated.
** As an option the priming pump is controlled automatically.
