Abstract

The invention relates to the field of pump design. A multistage centrifugal pump with two parallel flows of pumped medium comprises a housing consisting of two separate parts, each of which contains impellers and guide apparatus, and a central pressure cover mounted between said parts of the housing. A delivery pipe is vertical and centrally oriented. The pump additionally includes an end transfer cover for transferring fluid from the first part of the housing to the second part via transfer channels provided integrally with the pressure cover and the transfer cover. The impellers are arranged in the first and second parts of the housing such as to be opposed to one another in relation to the central pressure cover. The first part of the housing comprises a horizontal suction pipe and a vertical discharge pipe, which are disposed on the drive side of the pump and are configured in the form of a single cast part. The discharge pipe is connected by a transfer pipe to an annular chamber in the central pressure cover. The invention is directed toward simplifying the installation, assembly and repair of the pump in an operating environment, reducing the length of the pump piping, and allowing for disassembly and repair of the wet end of the pump without disconnecting the suction and discharge pipes.
