18 K (kelvin) rispetto alla temperatura ambiente
Explanation:
The kelvin (symbol: K) is a unit increment of temperature and is one of the seven SI base units. The Kelvin scale is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy, is zero (0 K). The Kelvin scale and the kelvin are named after the Irish physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824–1907), who wrote of the need for an “absolute thermometric scale”.

Il sistema di misurazione kelvin (simbolo K, a volte erroneamente indicato con °K) della temperatura, è una delle sette unità base del Sistema internazionale di unità di misura.

18k from the ambient temperature.
18 K rispetto alla temperatura ambiente


Explanation:
salto termico di 18 K rispetto alla temperatura ambiente
Quando si parla di differenze di temperatura si usa normalmente i gradi assoluti K (kelvin), che comunque equivale ad un salto di 18 °C (gradi Celsius); si possono usare entrambi come previsto dall'annesso B della norma ISO 1000 che recita:
" Omissis .... An interval of difference of Celsius temperature can, however, e expressed in kelvins as well as in degrees Celsius."
