(Dear you,)
No, its a sealed bulb and it should hold its charge without expiring.
Dear All,
I would like to ask if the expansion valve bulb charge expired after a period of time.
Thanks

Losing the bulb charge is a failure of the part.
Normally, it is considered to be somewhat odd to make posts in a huge font on internet forums. There is no need for this, or all caps, or fanciful colors. It does not help a poster to get answers.

TXV = Thermostatic Expansion Valve
you've just asked about the Thermostatic Expansion Valve expansion valve
Not trying to be nitpicky. BUT....we're mostly professionals here. Using proper terminology is important in a professional field, and sets you above the average knuckle dragging gas-and-go "technician"....
Do you think you are special ,asking a dumb question in big bold font letters.Act normal, maybe you will get normal replies 'GUEST"
You guys are awful harsh sometimes.
It's a valid question, I could see myself asking it.
I understand the need to be professional and everything but no need to get all antagonistic on the guy.
I thought I was nice...all things considered.

Ok,it's a sealed powerhead.with a gas charge .it only leaks out, if there is a hole in it,Like a sealed refrigeration system.Is that nice .Just stop with the big letters!!!
I wonder if he means "expired" in the way dairy products pass an expiration date.
The answer is no.
They stop functioning due to a defect, such as the aforementioned loss of charge from the bulb/capillary tube of the power head.

Ok,OLIVERO
It's how engineers approach real world systems.
They can design something that looks really good on paper. But, because they are not working in a manufacturing environment where their design must be proven and refined before mass production, the engineers in OUR world are basically "professional guessers," but they act like they are professional mechanical gods.
One memorable member avatar used on this site had a picture of a pretty blonde woman in a hardhat, carrying a binder. The caption read: "I don't know how to do your job, but my book says you're doing it wrong."
That about sums it up. They don't know our job, so they rarely know what will actually work, and work reliably, yet, the behave as though they could never stink up a bathroom.

Ah, I get it, lol.
X2 on what Timebuilder said.
In my opinion, before anyone is allowed to attend engineering school, they should be required to get a ticketed trade certification related to what kind of engineering they wish to pursue. The real world experience would open a lot of their eyes to the common issues that arise when applying engineering to construction plans. Maybe then we would see less issues with stuffing 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lbs sack and then providing zero service access.
