In this refrigerant flow diagram, we see a simplistic piping arrangement for a heat pump running in cooling mode. When we take the complexity away, such as in this drawing, it allows a newer tech to easily follow the refrigerant path, especially as the refrigerant travels through the reversing valve and accumulator.
