After the condenser, the refrigerant is typically in which state and moves to which component?

Explanation:
In a vapor-compression cycle, the condenser removes heat from the refrigerant and turns it into a high‑pressure liquid (often subcooled). This dense liquid then flows to the expansion valve (the metering device), where its pressure is suddenly reduced. The pressure drop cools the liquid and allows some to flash into low‑pressure vapor as it enters the evaporator, where it can absorb heat. So the outlet of the condenser is high‑pressure liquid moving to the expansion valve.
