Purpose. The operation of electromechanical systems (EMS) in off-design modes and in which centrifugal pumps are used is accompanied by a number of negative factors, a special place among which is occupied by excessive blade vibration of the pump, which negatively affects its operational characteristics and causes a reduction in the service life of the main EMS units. Thus, an urgent task is to improve the operating characteristics of the pump as a component of EMS, which, by increasing the energy efficiency of the EMS working process and/or reducing the total cost of the life cycle of the pumps in their composition, will ultimately have a significant economic effect. Methodology. Experimental research of working process of an electric pump aggregate type D according to DSTU 6134:2009 and ISO 10816-3:2014. Results. Based on the experimental research results of vibration state of the pump D2000-100-2 bearing shell, which operates as part of the EMS, and the intensity of fluid pressure pulsations at its outlet, the limit root mean square value (RMS) of the pressure pulsation amplitude (∆Р ≥ 35,8 kPa and/or 3,4 % Н) is set at which an excess of the established ISO 10816: 3-2014 limit RMS of vibration velocity of the pump bearing shell ( V 2,8 mm/s ) and also is determined correlation coefficient ( / л k V Р ), which characterizes the RMS of the vibration velocity of the pump bearing shell at the blade frequency ( Vл ) depending on the RMS amplitude of the blade pressure pulsations (∆Р). Practical value. Since the number and systematic of experimental researches of the effect of pump parameters on the intensity of its blade vibration is complicated by the high cost of their implementation, therefore, it is advisable in further researches to use the RMS amplitude of blade pressure pulsations as an indirect indicator of the RMS vibration velocity of the pump bearing shell at the blade frequency. Conclusion. The intensity of pressure pulsations and influence of main parameters of the pump on their amplitude, with sufficient accuracy for engineering calculations can be determined by numerical modeling of the unsteady fluid flow in the flowing part of the pump.
