In this paper the application of centrifugal type gas separator as a part of submersible electric screw pumping unit is considered. A number of bench tests have been carried out to study the centrifugal gas separator on viscous gas-liquid mixture. Calculation of the dependence of delivery on the developed pressure of a single screw pump at the angular speed of rotation of the rotor 225 rpm for different gas content has been made. Also, characteristic curves of gas separators of groups 5 and 5A at different gas contents and different viscosity of gas-liquid mixture are obtained. A methodology for bench testing of gas separators has been developed, which takes into account the influence of gas-liquid mixture properties, changes in the angular speed of the electric motor shaft rotation, and natural separation parameters. The operating parameters of a gas separator of group 5A were determined experimentally, taking into account a residual gas content of 50%, in the range of angular speeds of 252 – 1000 rpm (4.2 – 16.7 Hz).
