cooling vent
Climate control opening
A cooling vent is an opening that allows heat to escape from an enclosed space or device.
Buildings have cooling vents to regulate temperature; electronics have them to prevent overheating: Make sure you don't block the laptop's cooling vents.
The term applies to any deliberate gap designed for thermal management.
