ventilation equipment
Explanation:
"Don" is one of those all-purpose words which can mean tool, box, equipment, gear, "thingy".
In this context, equipment would cover 'vent'. It is also a generic term which can be used in other contexts.
On page 22 of the reference, "ventilasjonsdon" is used to refer to various different types of ventilation equipment in the previous paragraph.
