The vent frame is basically 2.0 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. There are horizontal louvers placed about 11.5 cm apart. The measurements presented below were taken on a 30 cm x 30 cm grid with the anemometer held ~30cm away from the vent. 
All measurements are in m/s. Normal component was measured, horizontal flow direction away from vent is positive.

There are 6x8 = 42 cells each of size 30cm x 30 cm. That's a total area of 900*42 cm^2 =3.78m^2. Each cell conributes 0.3m x 0.3m = A'= 0.09 m^2 of area and its measured velocity so each cell's flow rate is v*0.09 m^3/s. 

...

During this time period the anemometer vent airspeed indicated 0.4 (presumably m/s?). During normal operations it's 4 times lower but the other vents are open then as well. 
During observations we therefore expect about 1m^3/s of airflow through the fan-driven vent.
