Jet Engine

Jamison has designed jet engine test cell doors in a variety of sizes, from 3' x 7' personnel-size doors to 30' x 30' doors. Jamison jet engine test cell doors are used in government and airline test cells, automotive, marine, and railroad engine testing facilities, military equipment and turbine testing laboratories.

GE

At this General Electric engine test facility in Lynn, MA, a 21' x 19' door was designed with a 14' diameter propeller shroud opening. This unique "split-porthole" door permits the test cell to be used in two ways; with the propeller shroud in place, the cell is configured to test turboprop engines, (left). By folding that door flat against the wall and closing another specially contoured door around the cell's exhaust gas tube, turbojet and fan jet engines can be tested, (right).

Pratt and Whitney

This double-swinging 18' x 14' power-operated door seals the opening to a jet engine test cell at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft in East Hartford, CT. With an STC rating of 57, it is designed to withstand an acoustical pressure of +74 psf (164 dB RE .0002 microbar) and cell de-pressurization of -42 psf.
