In Liquid state
When the refrigerant leaves the compressor, it is in a high-pressure gas state. It then flows through the condenser coils, where it releases heat and condenses into a high-pressure liquid before entering the expansion valve.
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.
Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressure vapor. In the condenser, the heated refrigerant is cooled by transferring its heat to the air which passes through the condenser fins, and it changes state to a liquid during this time.

No, refrigerant is not a low-pressure liquid as it leaves the condenser. Instead, it exits the condenser as a high-pressure liquid after dissipating heat. This high-pressure liquid then flows to the expansion valve, where it is allowed to expand and drop in pressure before entering the evaporator.
According to state of the outlet refrigerant from compressor, it's better we use refrigerant temperature.
When refrigerant leaves a compressor, it is at high pressure and high temperature. The compressor raises the refrigerant's pressure as it compresses the gas, preparing it for the next stage of the refrigeration cycle. This high-pressure refrigerant then moves to the condenser, where it releases heat and changes state.
The excess heat removed by a condenser is the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator plus the heat of compression in the compressor. The condenser releases this heat to the outside environment, allowing the refrigerant to return to its liquid state.
Refrigerant should be removed from the condenser outlet when:
The function of the condenser is to release heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense from a gas to a liquid state. This process increases the pressure of the refrigerant.
