What are you trying to do? Do you mean an oauth token? I have never heard of a refresh token myself.
Twitch does not automatically expire access tokens so refresh tokens are not as necessary as some other services. Normally an access token would expire after short amount of time for security and further requests would first need to be re-authenticated again with your client ID and secret to get an updated token.
Ex of refresh token flow:
POST https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/token
POST Body (URL-encoded)
client_id=[your client ID]
&client_secret=[your client secret]
&grant_type=refresh_token
&refresh_token=[refresh token from your original request]
This doesn't answer my question. I mean, what does it do? With which calls can I use this refresh token?

Twitch does not expire access tokens (at this time) so there is little benefit to using it with Kraken.

How would I use them? I couldn't find anything about it in the docs.
