The refrigerant is in a liquid state as it enters the expansion device.
Refrigerant exits the receiver in a liquid state as it is stored and accumulated in this component after leaving the condenser. It serves as a temporary storage vessel before entering the expansion device in the system.
The state of the refrigerant leaving the condenser is a high-pressure, high-temperature, high-quality liquid. It has released heat to the surroundings during the condensation process and is ready to move to the expansion valve or throttle valve to undergo an expansion process.
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.
The condenser helps to condense the refrigerant vapor into a liquid state by removing heat. It also increases the pressure of the refrigerant, preparing it to enter the coil as a high-pressure liquid. Additionally, the condenser helps to release any remaining heat energy from the refrigerant before it enters the coil to complete the cooling process.
In a refrigerant refrigerator, the refrigerant undergoes two main changes of state: evaporation and condensation. The refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator coil, absorbing heat and cooling the interior of the refrigerator. It then condenses in the condenser coil, releasing heat and dissipating it outside the refrigerator, completing the cooling cycle.

Metering device The metering device controls the flow of liquid refrigerant through the system. The liquid enters at a high-pressure, high-temperature, sub-cooled state and leaves as a low-pressure, low temperature, expanded liquid state. Accurator Piston and Thermostatic Expansion Valves are the most widely used metering devices. Accurator Pistons are widely used because of their low cost and flexibility. The piston can easily be changed to match the capacity of the condensing unit. The Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) is the most efficient type of metering device. The TXV automatically adjusts the flow of the liquid refrigerant based on the superheat of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator coil. As the load on the evaporator increases, the TXV increases the flow of refrigerant. This maintains the proper superheat. The TXV is efficient throughout a variety of system operating conditions, while the accurator is efficient only under designed conditions.

The liquid line on a filter dryer is typically located at the inlet side of the device. It carries the refrigerant in its liquid state from the condenser to the evaporator. The filter dryer's primary function is to remove moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant before it enters the evaporator, ensuring efficient system operation and longevity.
A liquid receiver is a component in refrigeration and air conditioning systems that temporarily stores refrigerant in its liquid state. It helps maintain a constant supply of liquid refrigerant to the expansion device, ensuring efficient system operation. Additionally, the receiver allows for the separation of liquid refrigerant from any vapor, preventing the compressor from ingesting vapor and maintaining optimal performance.
If said device is not ready, the CPU will perform other tasks as not to "hang" until the device enters ready 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.
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.
The condenser helps to condense the refrigerant vapor into a liquid state by removing heat. It also increases the pressure of the refrigerant, preparing it to enter the coil as a high-pressure liquid. Additionally, the condenser helps to release any remaining heat energy from the refrigerant before it enters the coil to complete the cooling process.
A condenser is used in systems to remove heat from a substance, typically by transferring it to another medium such as air or water. In HVAC systems, condensers are used to remove heat from refrigerant vapor and change it back into a liquid state. This process allows the system to operate efficiently and maintain desired temperatures.
It will, in basically all cases be a mixture of liquid and vapor, which means the refrigerant is saturated but with a few bubbles entering the evaporator. In a properly operating system though entering the metering device should be solid liquid and some sub-cooling (sub-cooled means cooler then saturation and therefore= no vapor) but then through the metering device (TXV, cap tube, orifice) some of the liquid will boil off, which is called flash gas, in order to cool the refrigerant down as saturated temperature goes down (the pressure to boiling point relation, as pressure is reduced boiling point is lowed). The amount of flash gas is directly related to the specific heat of the refigernt (BTUs/lb), the number of degrees you are cooling the refrigerant (eg. 95 to 45), and the latent heat of vaporization (BTUs/lb for change of state. liquid to vapor)
