This video explains it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?=BfOCWL_sdEo

A smart controller adjusts the amp load. The guy talks about 75 to 100 amps of power in the video, which was some years ago. Now they say 60 to 70 amps. We've done the amp mapping; with modern avionics, the airframe doesn't draw much. You still use the typical limitations that any air-conditioned aircraft I've flown has. My airplane now has the 400 Cessna electrical system. Hot air goes out the back of the cabin through a new vent along with the condensation.

Got to do something living here in South Texas; cabin is brutal on the ground and down low.
