Its there just to move some air over that big thermal mass of glass that we call a primary mirror.
By blowing a fan on the mirror it will shed the temperature difference between it and the surrounding air much quicker than without one. The fan will simply bring it closer to ambient temperature faster and it cannot make it too cold
