Non-thermal steam air vent

Does anyone manufacture an air vent that's not thermally controlled that can be installed on a Danfos steam radiator valve? The reason I want this type of air vent is to release the air and to collect the condensation because the Danfos valve has it's own thermally controlled device. I do not see the need for two thermally controlled devices on the same radiator. In my opinion, the Danfos is more accurate for controlling the room temperature than the air vent alone.

    air vent

    you are right, both the danfoss and the air vent are thermal devices. however the danfoss trv measures the room temperature, while the air vent is monitoring the air escaping through it from the radiator, so it can close when steam has arrived. so you do need the conventional air vent.--nbc
