Refrigerant enters the compressor inlet as a low pressure vapor. The compressor increases the pressure, and discharges it as a high pressure vapor.
Cycles refrigerant through the system and changes the state of the refrigerant from a low pressure vapor to a high pressure vapor.
Well, like the name implies, it compresses. It creates the pressure by which the refrigerant (and also the compressor oil) flows through the AC system. Refrigerant enters the compressor as a low pressure vapor, and is compressed into a high pressure vapor. In the process, this heats up the refrigerant, which is important as air conditioning works through a heat exchange. This high pressure vapor travels to the condenser, where the heat which has been absorbed by the refrigerant is exchanged rapidly to the ambient air through the fins in the condenser.

A brief discussion of the operating vapor-compression cycle is helpful to indicate other potential refrigeration problems in real systems. In the basic cycle, slightly subcooled refrigerant leaves the condenser at high pressure and flows into the liquid receiver if one is present. The refrigerant then enters the throttling device (capillary tube, TXV, etc.) where the pressure is dropped. It then enters the evaporator as a two-phase mixture (liquid and vapor) and evaporates or boils at low temperature, adsorbing heat. Slightly superheated refrigerant vapor exits the evaporator and enters the suction line accumulator, if one is present (used to trap any transient liquid slugs). The refrigerant vapor then enters the compressor where the pressure and temperature are increased as the compressor compresses the refrigerant vapor. The vapor leaving the compressor is superheated, and the compressor discharge is the hottest point in the cycle. This refrigerant is cooled and condensed in the condenser where heat is rejected, and the refrigerant is condensed to liquid. Refrigerant actually leaves the condenser slightly subcooled (subcooled liquid) to assure condensation has been complete. Any non-condensable vapors in the system will be unable to condense in the condenser and will appear as gas bubbles in the condensed liquid stream. These non-condensables may collect in the condenser and displace refrigerant from the condenser heat exchanger, thereby reducing the effective surface area of the condenser.The compressor changes the low pressure vapor to high pressure vapor sending it threw the condenser to cool and turn it back into liquid.
