Zusammenfassung: | An aircraft propulsion unit is described. The unit may include a gas generator with a fan surrounded by a casing. A nacelle may extend around the casing and define an annular compartment with the casing wherein some equipment may be housed. An air inlet may be configured so a ventilation air flow penetrates inside the compartment. An air outlet may be configured so a ventilation air flow is evacuated from the compartment. The propulsion unit may also include an air flow adjustment regulator. The air flow adjustment regulator may be configured to maintain a nominal value of the ventilation air flow circulating through at least one of the air inlet and of the air outlet under nominal operating conditions, and to reduce the value of this ventilation air flow when a fire is detected inside the compartment. |
