Incorrect. Unlike you I've experimented with clothes drying by fans.

You don't live near a wind farm do you and are confused what they are?
;-)

So, when we dry clothes outdoors we absorb energy from the environment
as the water evaporates. If we raise the airflow we also raise the
rate of evaporation and so also lower the temperature of the clothes
further (and how people make basic camping coolers with a rag and some
water).

So, if you were to blow air though a (moving?)
container of clothes, what would stop them cooling
down to the point where they could freeze?

Same thing that never sees camping coolers freeze.

Worse if you were recycling the air?

Nope, because once the air is saturated, it
doesn't evaporate any more from the clothes.

Given both of our de-humidifiers (working on the same
principal of a liquid evaporating cooling a surface) often
go into defrost mode if they are in an unheated room in the
winter, what is to stop the clothes simply freezing up, if you
don't introduce heat energy into the system to stop that?

Same thing that never sees camping coolers freeze.

I don't know the answers,

That's obvious.

I'm just asking the questions? ;-)

Stoppit at once or go to your room, boy.
