The bulb in the TXV is filled with the refrigerant it is meant for. So your bulb would be filled with R-12.

It will have a different curve than R-22, and will not work as well, but if your expectations are low... it might work for you.

If you're tying to get the best out of your equipment, maybe you should give ebay a try and get the proper part for maybe $30... maybe less.
