Abstract
A rotary pump has a pump housing enclosing a flow space and provided with an intake opening and a discharge opening, wherein the intake opening and the discharge opening are connected to each other by the flow space. An impeller wheel is disposed in the flow space and is driven in rotation. An expansion body is provided that is fluidically connected to the flow space. A spiral casing surrounds, in a mounted position in the pump housing, an outer circumference of the impeller wheel, wherein the spiral casing is a single-part or multi-part shaped component and is embodied separate from the pump housing.
