The refrigerant is cold so it absorbs heat from the outside air which is hotter than itself. The refrigerant then flows into a compresor in which its temperature and pressure are raised high enough that it becomes a vapor. The vapor then flows to an indoor coil from which heat is radiated or blown into...
