As I understand it, they're refrigerating air, not compressing it. If so, your calculations are entirely inapplicable. Carnot efficiency approaches 100% as your cold reservoir approaches 0 K, so it's plausible for such a cryogenic system to get very high efficiencies from an air motor, much higher than normal.
