Abstract
Results obtained recently in Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 120603 (2012) by Cleuren et al. apparently contradict to the third law of thermodynamics. We discuss a scenario for resolving this contradiction, and show that this scenario is pertinent for clarifying the general message of the third law.
