Cooling is the process of offloading heat from one atom to another. In space and the moon, there's very little....anything. You can't transfer heat onto nothing - so an "air cooled" heat vent doesn't work. Another user suggested they use the moon itself or moon dust as a heat sink, and you could do that in theory.

Since we're being pedants, that's moving heat through nothing, not transferring it to nothing.

Not that it's a viable means of heat removal for a reactor.
