The left side vent is used for engine air intake (no fan).
The right side is for cooling the engine compartment. It has an exhaust fan mounted in there so when the engine bay temp increases beyond the threshold determined by the DME that fan activates.

And as randall also indicated, there are the two cooling fans up front.
