You have a misunderstanding about how this works.
Due to the pressure, the air is actually too warm for the cabin, so it
needs to be COOLED prior to entering the cabin, not heated. If the cabin
is too cool, it is NOT due to not heating the cabin enough, but cooling
it too much. How do you think overcooling would save them money? |
