Cooling off the circuit breaker defeats the purpose of a breaker in the first place, by cooling them you are allowing more current to pass through, the reason its tripping is that there is too much current, it has to be thought of in that respect, otherwise you might as well just circumvent the breaker all together

2 exceptions:

1- the breaker is tripping due to mechanical forces
2- you cool the breaker between matches
