Whilst that is obviously a way to ensure that all water is evapourated I
would be very surprised if all the water doesn't get evapourated with lower
temperatures over the length of the average flight. Perhaps if the aircraft
had been left for a long time in cool humid conditions it might need longer
or hotter temperatures. Water heated to 70-80degC will certainly give off
water vapour.
