In the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, it is the refrigerant that circulates through the equipment, transporting heat from the cooled (or refrigerated) space to an outside fluid (air or water). The transfer of heat to and from the refrigerant is accomplished by the refrigerant changing phase from liquid to gas and from gas to liquid. The refrigerant used in a system must be able to evaporate at a temperature below the desired temperature in the refrigerated space, and condense at a temperature above the temperature of the outside fluid.
