After the purge unit, refrigerant flow goes to which component?

Explanation:
The purge unit cleans out non-condensable gases and moisture from the refrigerant so only clean liquid refrigerant proceeds on to the cooling stage. That cooling stage is the evaporator, on the low‑pressure side of the cycle, where the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and boils into a vapor. After leaving the evaporator, the vapor is drawn into the compressor to be compressed and recirculated. The condenser and receiver sit on the high‑pressure side and aren’t the immediate next destination after purging.
