A search for "superconductor heat pipe" says Niven is right and superconductors can be used for super-fast cooling.

A superconducting wine glass that fits onto a superconducting cold spot on the table. Or a superconducting sleeping bag for those hot mosquito nights. (The sleeping bag also levitates on magnetic lines so you can sleep on air.)
