Abstract
A multistage centrifugal pump for conveying a fluid includes a pump housing, two first stage impellers, a last stage impeller and a shaft. The two first stage impellers and the last stage impeller convey the fluid from a housing inlet to a housing outlet. The shaft rotates each impeller about an axial direction, each impeller comprising a suction side to receive the fluid and a discharge side to discharge the fluid. The last stage impeller is a double suction impeller, having a first suction side and a second suction side, and the last stage impeller is arranged between the two first stage impellers with respect to the axial direction. Each impeller of the two first stage impellers is arranged with the suction side of a respective first stage impeller facing one of the first and second suction sides of the last stage impeller.
