That's right. But in this case, it's supposed to be a working fluid. Cooling oil circulates by, picks up some heat, and moves on through a cooling process. In this case, it's being pressurized, heated, and moved, all without any cooling. Introducing cooling would cut into the efficiency of this system, and not by a small amount.
