HVAC works with four major parts; The compressor, which is the heart of the system. An Evaporator, which abosorbs heat the form the structure. Third the condenser, which releases heat from inside and puts it in a place where it makes not difference, usely outside. Lastly the Metering device, which seperates the high and low side of the system. We will start at the compressor which pushes the refrigerant to the condenser at high pressure. In that process the refrigerant heated up do to the compression, the reason for going to the condenser is so the heat from compression and heat from in the house can be released. After the heat has been released and refrigerant is condensed it moves to the metering device which depending on how old your system is can be multiple devices we will just say it is a very small hole so normal people will understand. As the refrigerant is leaving the metering device it is now turning into liquid as well as going down in pressure. when it reaches the evaporater this liquid boils off back into vapor becaus in the evaporater it absorbs heat from the house. now it travels back to the compressor now fully vapor to be compressed and sent around again.
