air outlet

Where breeze exits

An air outlet is an opening through which air exits a space or system—a vent in a wall, a nozzle in a car dashboard, or a register in an HVAC system.

The term emphasizes the direction of airflow: air comes out here, as opposed to an inlet where air enters.

Adjust the air outlet to direct the flow away from your face.
