In the other compartment ( the condenser ) , the refrigerant vapor is compressed and forced through another heat exchange coil , condensing into a liquid , rejecting the heat previously absorbed from the cooled space . At the opposite side of the cycle is the condenser , which is located outside of the cooled compartment , where the refrigerant vapor is compressed and forced through another heat exchange coil , condensing the refrigerant into a liquid , thus rejecting the heat previously absorbed from the cooled space .
