Bard 905-0351 is an OEM TXV assembly (thermostatic expansion valve) used in Bard wall-mounted air conditioner refrigeration circuits to meter refrigerant flow into the evaporator and maintain stable superheat under changing load conditions. When a TXV sticks, hunts, or loses its charge, you can see symptoms like poor cooling capacity, icing, or erratic suction pressure, and replacing the valve with the correct Bard-specified assembly helps restore proper refrigerant control and designed performance. Because TXVs are application-specific by tonnage and refrigerant, confirm the unit model and serial number before ordering, and plan on standard refrigeration service practices such as replacing the liquid-line filter drier, pulling a deep evacuation, and weighing in the charge per the Bard service literature after installation.
