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.

No
It cools the liquid refrigerant after it is compressed from gas to a liquid from the compressor.
Condensor
Your condensor outside , where the compressor is . should have an information plate showing the type of refrigerant used
In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat to the surrounding air or water, causing it to condense from a high-pressure gas to a high-pressure liquid. This process is essential for removing heat from the refrigerant so it can be efficiently circulated back into the system to collect more heat from the space being cooled.
When the maximum pressure of the refrigerant is achieved in the condensor and the maximum temperature differential is acheived between the condensor coil and the surrounding medium. (air, water, or other)
If you want to take the condensor off, you need a refrigerant recovery system.
what happens when refrigerant enters the condenser
When refrigerant leaves the condenser, it typically exists in a high-pressure liquid state. This liquid refrigerant has released heat to the surrounding environment and has cooled down from its gaseous state. It is ready to be sent to the expansion valve, where it will undergo a pressure drop and begin the evaporation process in the evaporator coil.
Water cooled chiller work on principal that water is circulated in condenser for removal of heat from the system and refrigerant gas is thus condensed in condensor.
Prices can range from a simple refrigerant charge approx $100.00 to a complete replacement of evaporator, condensor, and compressor approx. $1200-1500.
