The refrigerant that is compressed and thereby heated by the refrigerant compressor (A9) is introduced into the condenser at the top. The condenser, which heats up, emits heat across its surface to the outside air flowing past it. This in turn cools the refrigerant.

While the refrigerant is cooling down to a specific, pressure refrigerant sensitive temperature, the refrigerant condenses and is liquified. The liquid refrigerant exits at the bottom of the condenser and flows into the fluid reservoir.
