What happens to the refrigerant in a condensor?

In a condenser, the refrigerant transitions from a gas to a liquid state. As the hot, gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, it releases heat to the surrounding environment, typically through fins or coils. This heat exchange causes the refrigerant to cool and condense into a high-pressure liquid. The resulting liquid refrigerant is then directed to the expansion valve to continue the refrigeration cycle.
