Centrifugal pumps as a heart of the system which are used to move fluids are used widely in most of the industries and have considerable contribution in the amount of energy consumption, so improving of their performance has been attended for researchers .In this paper the aim of studying is the effect of double splitter blades on pump’s performance numerically and experimentally. Three type impellers have been made as experimental investigation. Pump with this impellers is tested and extracted the performance curve. Also, for investigation of the flow pump has been simulated numerically by ANSYS-CFX commercial code. Numerical method of finite volume with k-ω SST turbulence model for numerical analysis. Numerical and experimental results show reasonable agreement that increasing of head and variation of NPSHR due to adding of double splitter blades. The maximum head increased was obtained related to third type of Impeller about 6.33 percent. Furthermore, third type is selected as best impeller. Also, it is observed that around point of designing of pump the effect of double splitter blades on pump’s performance is more significant and deviation from this point will decrease the effect of it.
