The Condenser

After compression, the Coolant is rather hot and not yet entirely liquid. The next step is a cooling unit, called 'condenser'. It looks a bit like a shrunk car radiator. Usually you find one or more fans that ensure a good air flow through the condenser. You can find the condenser of many refrigerators at the bottom right underneath the fridge-door. When you put your hand there you will feel a warm air flow. This air was used to cool the compressed coolant.
