What is the state of the refrigerant as it exits the evaporator?

Explanation:
In the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs heat and boils off, so the pressure on this side remains low. By the time it leaves the evaporator, it’s predominantly a low-pressure vapor (often slightly superheated to ensure no liquid remains). High pressure liquid would be before the expansion valve, and high pressure vapor would occur after compression. A low pressure liquid state wouldn’t have fully vaporized inside the evaporator.
