I remember reading somewhere that if the A/C in a car or anywhere really cools "too much" that it could have too little refrigerant in there. I understand that if it's really cold on one side then it should be really hot on the other side but couldn't you then just run the compressor motor slower so that ice doesn't form on the cool side and on the hot side it doesn't get too hot? Lets say to get decent cooling in a properly pressurized system the electric motor has to run at 250rpm. Now let's say some refrigerant escapes and it now runs so cold that ice forms on one side. But then you take down the RPM of the electric motor from 250rpm to 200rpm, so now the coils are cold enough and not too cold. Why can't you just continue with this setup? Why would there be a specified pressure if the system can run at a lower pressure and at a lower speed while providing the same cooling effect?
I really have limited knowledge on refrigerants so if anyone can enlighten me, please do.
