Thermal relief is required on any liquid line where there is heat input and the line does not have an open path to flow to in the event of a failure scenario (blocked outlet, instrument air failure, general or single power failure, etc.).

A classic example is the blocked outlet case of the cold side of a shell and tube heat exchanger. If the cold side flow is blocked between the discharge of a pump and the outlet of the exchanger the heating medium will continue to transfer heat and the liquid will expand and have the potential for thermal relief.

Thermal relief is also required for cooling water exchangers on the cooling water side; however, some facilities keep administrative controls (car sealed open valves) on the cooling water lines to ensure such as scenario does not occur. These facilites would not typically provide thermal relief devices on their cooling water exchangers.

What is the state of refrigerant in the liquid line?

Refrigerant in the liquid line is in a liquid state. It has condensed from its vapor form into a liquid due to the pressure and temperature conditions in the line. This liquid refrigerant is ready to enter the evaporator coil to absorb heat and undergo the phase change process again.
