"Wir empfehlen, in der Theke an der Kundenseite direkt vor dem Kälteaggregat ein Lüftungsgitter (mindestens 0,12 qm freier Luftquerschnitt, ab Baugröße 1600 mindestens 0,18 qm) einzubauen. Ggf. sind weitere Maßnahmen zur Fortführung der warmen Luft erforderlich."
From a text about cooling units for food counters. If there is such a thing as an "open-air cross-section", I can't find any tangible proof of this. But if it's not that, then what would you call this? TIA for your help. BTW, all these question will be graded in two or three days' time.

free cross-section
The "air" is superfluous as it is obvious from the rest of the question what is meant.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Seeing as this answer got an "agree", I'll go with it. I suppose free area might work as well though. Anyway, thank you all for your contributions."
