Steam doesn't cool off liquids because it is the release of thermal energy from the water, and that is why, it is therefore hot. If the steam is coming off the liquid itself, it is heat being released by the liquid, but the liquid is not necessarily getting cooler. Think of water boiling on a stove. There may be plenty of steam coming off the water, but the water continues to boil. Subjecting a cool liquid to steam will certainly not cool the liquid.

steam is created by the vapourisation of water (gaseous state of water is the steam). Steam is the result of a liquid changing to a gas. Liquid+heat=latent point of vaporization+additonal heat=steam. I could give you the delta change formula but lets use the kiss method
