I am sure you will find a more natural solution of this flow of water from glaciers — estimated not less than 3000 feet thick — in the suggestion first made by Professor James Thomson, and subsequently proved by his brother, Professor W. Thomson, that the freezing point of water is lowered by the effect of pressure 0.23 ° Fahr., or about a quarter of a degree for each additional atmosphere of pressure.

First the water has to cool down to a Temperature of 273.15 Kelvins; the freezing point of water (under STP conditions.)

Ocean temperature change, however, reached a lower limit, probably because the freezing point of sea water put a restriction on how cold the deep ocean could get.

In the dead sea where there is no ice and no thermocline with a temperature fixed to the range between the surface temperature and the freezing point of ice, it is higher.

The other argument might be that the FREEZING point of heavy water is also higher than regular water, so more of it would snow out of the air before it gets to Greenland, so the temperature of Greenland matters.

The freezing point of salt water varies strongly with the salinity which changes as the ice underneath melts and freshens the sea.

Of course, the absolute temperature does matter in many situations (the freezing point of ice, emitted radiation, convection, health and ecosystem impacts, etc.) and so it's worth calculating as well — even at the global scale.

The long answer is: provided that the ambient's air is well above the freezing point of water, that the cabin's air filter is clean and that the system is set to cool ambient air and not recirculated one, the evaporator's thermal load is proportional to fan speed, and, therefore, air volume.
