That's not capturing in a utility sense, it's merely preventing system failure from overheat (edit: autocorrect was turning this into "merrily preventing" which was kind of fitting as well). The result is a high volume, low delta-T coolant cycle and those are notoriously difficult (read: impossible) to capture meaningful amounts of electricity from, it will actually consume a lot. That quote is just a slightly more elaborate way of saying: no, we'll definitely not do any utilizeable capture.
