Jäähdytysluukku

Jäähdytysluukku is a Finnish term that translates to "cooling hatch" or "ventilation hatch" in English. It refers to an opening in a building's structure, typically in the roof or upper walls, designed to allow for passive ventilation and cooling. These hatches are often found in attics, garages, or industrial buildings where temperature regulation is important.

The primary function of a jäähdytysluukku is to facilitate the natural movement of air. Warm air, being less dense, rises and exits through the opening, drawing cooler, fresh air in from lower vents or other openings. This process helps to reduce indoor temperatures, especially during warmer months, and can prevent the buildup of moisture and stagnant air.

Jäähdytysluukut can be manually operated or automated. Manual versions are typically simple hinged hatches that can be opened and closed by hand. Automated versions may be linked to thermostats or other environmental sensors, opening and closing as needed to maintain a desired temperature or air quality. The design of a jäähdytysluukku can vary, from simple framed openings with louvers to more complex, insulated units designed for specific performance requirements. Their construction materials can range from wood and metal to specialized plastics, depending on the application and environmental conditions.
