My guess was also TXV. They could have pumped the charge into the condensing
unit, and put in the new TXV. Filter drier right before the TXV.

Calling it a TXV valve (thermostatic expansion valve valve) makes as much
sense as asking for the VIN number of a vehicle (Vehicle identification
number number). Or, the USPS service, the Unted States Postal Service
Service.

If you have a chance, please tell us what was the part they replaced.

I wouldn't be surprise to find out it was a TXV valve.
And that it was caused by clogging from improper
installation, eg not running nitrogen when brazing.
And that they screwed it up a second time.

But just speculating, I agree it would be good to
know what it was, if any of it was covered under
warranty, etc. *With a system just 6 years old you
would hope that whatever is wrong it would either
be a reasonable cost to fix or else covered under
warranty.

Except that with your examples far more people understand
what the USPS is, as it is common lexicon...

Fewer people understand what a VIN is and you would refer
to a VIN number when using the acronym to provide context
to what you are describing, you would never write it out or
say it the way you referred: "Vehicle identification number
number" as that would just be silly...

As for the TXV valve, far fewer people even know what that is
compared to those who know what a VIN number is... So
by adding the "valve" description to the end which you find
unnecessary provides context to those who don't know what
that part is, other than it is a valve...
