737 Acm

Hy
Anyone knows how are the components of the ACM-air cycle machine -on the 737 actionated? The ACM has a turbine and a compressor that are cooling the air required to mantain a comfortable temp in the plane.
A hotter setting for the temp will decrease the demand on the ACM.
Will this have some impact on fuel usage?
As I know there is no mechanical connection between the engine and the packs,so my guess is that the compressor and the turbine in the ACM are electrical?
I know the turbofan is operated with blead air.
Brgs
