Default Radiator w/o bleeder

Many boilers have an air escape device on top of
the boiler. Spirovent is one brand. Often they
corrode, and don't work very well.

Hi,

I came into possession of a radiator that doesn't
have a bleeder. What
the radiator basically is, is a continuous tube
twisted back and forth
like a snake.

Now, when I install this radiator, it'll have air
trapped inside it.
When I turn it on, the air will start traveling
through my hot water system.

Where will it end up? Will it end up spread around
other radiators that
do have bleeders or there is another mechanism
(e.g. at the boiler) for
the excess air to escape?

Many thanks in advance,

Sam
