intake vents
Breathing holes, mechanically
Intake vents are openings that allow air, water, or other substances to flow into an enclosed space or system.
In buildings, they bring fresh air into HVAC systems.
In vehicles, they channel air to engines or passenger compartments.
The term distinguishes these from exhaust vents, which expel rather than admit: The intake vents were clogged with leaves.
