On the surface it looks to be a very smart idea. Having over 25 years in the electronics industry, I'd like to make a suggestion to anyone who wants to use this system. Get yourself some thermal heat sink compound. A web search for it should yield many sources...try to find an industrial supplier...bigger quantity for much less money. It is the white or sometimes grey goo you would find under the heatsink on the CPU in a computer for example. It can be a tad messy, but is very effective. It fills all the gaps between the heat source and the cooling device to an almost molecular level vastly improving heat transfer
Like Arctic Ceramique?

I use this on my computer at home. You're right - thermal compounds are necessary between the processor and heatsink to aid in heat xfer. If poorly done, you can really goof things up. This might be good to go between the heat source (motor?) and cooling device. Worth a shot, anyway.
