The short story:

bulletCompress a gas
bulletthe gas becomes denser and hotter
bulletRemove some of the heat
bulletthe beauty of the gasses used as refrigerants is that they will then condense into a liquid
bulletSpray the liquid through a small orifice to decrease the pressure
bulletanother beauty of refrigerants: Lowering the pressure turns them back into a gas
bulletThe ultimate beauty: When a liquid turns into a gas, heat is released and the gas becomes cold
bulletFlow the cold gas through a "radiator" (just a length  of pipe with radiating fins attached)
bulletPull air over the cold fins to make the air cold
bulletBlow the cooled air into the car

Now what could be simpler than that?
