Abstract: A test cell for an aircraft turbojet, wherein the test cell comprises a U-shaped configuration, with a passageway in the form of an elongated corridor, an inlet chimney, and an outlet chimney. The corridor includes a securing area with a securing arm for holding the turbojet during its test. The passageway furthermore reveals an upstream shutter and a downstream shutter, the two shutters including one pivoting flap or a series of pivoting flaps. In the event of a fire, the shutters close due to autonomous return means. Gravity allows the flap(s) to come down to the closed position and to confine the turbojet in order to rapidly stifle the fire.

Abstract: A test bench for an aircraft turbojet engine is provided. The test bench comprises a U-shaped configuration with a passage in the form of an elongated corridor, an inlet duct, and an outlet duct. The corridor comprises a fixing zone with a fixing arm for holding a turbojet engine during testing. The passage furthermore has an upstream shutter with vertical pivoting air guides and a downstream shutter with an inflatable balloon in a collector tube. In the event of fire, the shutters close to confine the turbojet engine in order to suffocate the fire rapidly. A method for managing a fire in a test bench with a passage is also provided. Shutters are placed in the passage, where they deploy.
