Instruction book In expansion valve (13) some of the expanding liquid refrigerant evaporates, for which the required heat is withdrawn from the refrigerant itself. Compressor (M1) delivers hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas, which flows, via the coil of liquid separator (7), through The refrigerant enters the heat exchanger/evaporator (15) where condenser (9) where most of the refrigerant condenses.
