Yes, wormhole or blackhole heat dumps would also work , as I hinted in this message.

Using black holes as a heatdump is not really an option in a spaceship, so you can't use them for stealth; black holes are net emitters of energy until they reach the mass of a large asteroid. But you could dump heat into a comm-gauge wormhole, although a lot of one-way traffic would destabilise these small objects. If more mass/energy passes through a wormhole in one direction, then the 'in' mouth gains an excess of negative energy.

However if the 'hole is of a grazer configuration then this stability issue does not seem to be a major problem, according to Adam's writeup, although I'm not sure why.
