obviously it doesn;t get as cold, so it has to run longer

but is the power demand the same, or less?

is the total energy used the same, or less, or more?

From what I remember, I had my CAC charged with freon a few years ago
while an Amprobe was hooked up to the compressor, and I remeber seeing
the current draw go up slighty as the freon was being pumped in,
probably due to the added pressure from the freon the compressor had
to push.
