This temperature-driven vent opener uses a gas-filled hydraulic cylinder that expands with heat to raise vents up to 18 inches and contracts as things cool down. It runs without batteries or electricity, mounts to most standard frames, and is built from anodized galvanized steel with a reinforced dual-spring setup for steady operation in wind and weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this opener know when to open and close?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit relies on a sealed, gas-filled hydraulic cylinder that changes volume with temperature. As sunlight warms the cylinder it lengthens and pushes the window open; when the greenhouse cools it retracts, closing the vent.
