Sounds backwards to me.  If you're trying to tap the heat flow from a
hot body to a cool environment, won't that hinder the flow rather than
help it, leaving you hotter rather than cooler?  If it was the other way
round you could build a refrigerator that produced electricity instead
of consuming it, now that would be way cool (literally :).
