Answer: An expansion valve.

Step-by-step explanation:
The expansion valve is a copper tubing that contains a small orifice. The orifice restricts the flow of the refrigerant and makes it undergo a severe drop in pressure and temperature when it exits the orifice.
The temperature drop provides the cooling required in the cooling coils of the refrigerator.
