A capillary tube is primarily an expansion device. When the liquid refrigerant passes through capillary, it expands i.e pressure gets reduced. When the pressure of liquid refrigerant goes below the saturated pressure at the given temperature, liquid starts becoming vapor. But you require latent heat from converting liquid to vapor. So, a portion of liquid refrigerant extracts heat from remaining portion of liquid and becomes vapor. As heat is extracted from the remaining portion, it gets cooled. The state of refrigerant after capillary is partly vapor and partly liquid.
