Generated explanation

The diagram shows an indoor evaporator coil connected by refrigerant lines to an outdoor coil, with a dashed line separating inside from outside. Warm indoor air passes through the evaporator, where the refrigerant boils, and red arrows show warm refrigerant gas traveling toward the outdoor coil. A question-mark symbol marks the location of a required device, identified in the annotation as a compressor, that converts the warm refrigerant gas to hot gas before it reaches the outdoor coil. Warm air is discharged outside at the outdoor coil, and blue arrows show cold liquid refrigerant returning toward the evaporator.
