How can fans cool water from room temp to below ambient?

The fans are just blowing 75 degree air at 75 degree water so how does the water end up below 75? And is there a limit to how low it could go?

Water absorbs a certain amount of energy/heat when it evaporates. Heat gets used up when it breaks the bonds holding water molecules together as a liquid.

In principle as long as the air is dry you can pretty much indefinitely keep cooling. The air can only hold so much water though.
