Brainstorm off the top of my head seems to think they would be for a
minimal amount of air to enter in the event of blockage. Might perform a
bit of 'swirling' of the incoming air as well. In your application I'd
recommend not blocking them completely but put a flap on the inside to
allow for incoming air if the motor pulls it in and for blockage when
the pressure is greater in the box vs atmospheric.

huh, should have made it all one run on sentence.
