The technical task of creating new designs of submersible vane pumps is to maintain stable operating parameters and increase the productivity of the pumping station with periodic regeneration and sediment removal. The pumping well station contains an outer chamber and an inner chamber, in which a pumping unit is installed, and pipelines are connected to the lower and upper pools. In the structure under study, the upper parts of the outer and inner chambers are equipped with a sealed head, and the lower part of the outer chamber is equipped with a stopper. The side surface of the inner chamber is made of elastically deformable material. An elastic pipeline with an ejector at its end with curvilinear helical grooves on the inner surface of the nozzle part of the ejector is connected to the pipeline connected to the tailpipe, and water level meters are installed in the outer chamber. The technique of balance testing of new designs of submersible vane pumps was applied because the existing technology is insufficient for correct balance tests. Research methods involve the design of the impeller, which is rigidly mounted on the shaft. The methodology has been adjusted to apply to multistage pumps with different types of impellers. In the energy balance of this pump, the power losses due to friction in the individual axial support of the impeller are additionally determined. Experimental work was carried out, resulting in measurements of the hydrodynamic moment acting on the guide vane grate. Experimental work was carried out on a vertical stand with new pump impellers ETsV-10-120-40 and with a service life of 1 year. Parametric tests made it possible to determine the change in the external parameters of the pump depending on changes in its operating conditions and network characteristics.
