A Refrigeration System Using R-134A In a refrigeration system, the refrigerant R-134A begins as saturated vapor at -15°(State 1). It then goes through a reversible adiabatic compressor to reach State 2. After flowing through the condenser (a heat exchanger), the refrigerant exits as saturated liquid at 70°C (State 3). It is then throttled by going through an expansion valve, to reach State 4. It finishes the cycle by going through another heat exchanger (the evaporator), to return to State 1....
