Zusammenfassung:A subsea pump system includes a subsea centrifugal pump with a motor compartment and a process compartment. The subsea pump system further includes a liquid phase separator arranged downstream to the pump or downstream to at least one pump impeller. The liquid phase separator includes an inlet receiving the pressure boosted fluid, an outlet delivering a majority, or a minor part, of the pressure boosted fluid, and a liquid phase outlet, a liquid recirculation line, a flow mixer arranged on the inlet side of the pump, and a liquid lubricant line.
