I think they're referring to the heatsinks _in_ the air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The higher efficiency of the cooler itself would allow these devices to operate more efficiently.
That would be interesting. A more efficient way to heat the planet. :) It sounded like they were only talking about CPU/GPU coolers, but I suppose similar ideas could be applied to AC systems.
Yeah, the biggest heatsinks are not in your computer. There are big heatsinks in your car (radiator) and A/C units that would benefit from the tech more than your laptop.
