After the refrigerant passes through the evaporator it goes to the
Correct Answer:
Compressor
Explanation:
In a vapor‑compression refrigeration cycle, the evaporator cools the space by absorbing heat, and the refrigerant leaves the evaporator as a low‑pressure, low‑temperature vapor. To keep the cycle moving, that vapor must be compressed to a higher pressure so it can release its heat in the condenser. Thus, the next component after the evaporator is the compressor. The metering device is placed before the evaporator to drop pressure, while the condenser (and any receiver) come after the compressor. So the immediate next path for the refrigerant is into the compressor.
