A bulb (5) for a thermostatic expansion valve is provided, said bulb (5) comprising a chamber (7), said chamber (7) being located within a metallic casing of said bulb and being filled with a filling adapted to influence a valve element of said thermostatic expansion valve. Service of a temperature controlled valve connected to a bulb should be facilitated. To this end said bulb (5) comprises a connection geometry (10) adapted to be connected to a capillary member (6) and said casing being provided with a closed opening zone located within said connection geometry (10), said opening zone being adapted to be opened upon mounting a counterpart (15) to said connection geometry (10).
A bulb for a thermostatic expansion valve, said bulb comprising a chamber, said chamber being located within a metallic casing of said bulb and being filled with a filling, adapted to influence a valve element of said thermostatic expansion valve, wherein said bulb comprises a connection geometry adapted to be connected to a capillary member and said metallic casing being provided with a closed opening zone located within said connection geometry, said closed opening zone being adapted to be opened upon mounting a counterpart to said connection geometry, such that during the connection of said bulb and said capillary member, said closed opening zone is opened to establish a connection between said chamber and said capillary member.
