These type of actuators are commonly found on underfloor heating manifolds.
They do take a while to open & close which is not a problem with UFH
due to
it's relatively slow thermal response. Biggest benefit is ease of wiring
and
low cost compared to motor-based actuators. If you are thinking of using
them on radiator TRV valve bodies just make sure you get the right torque
rating as too high a closing force will damage the soft valve seats very
quickly and stop the valve from shutting off.

On the same theme, has any body used these: Thermo-Hydraulic
Actuators?

<http://www.danfoss-randall.co.uk/Site/downloads/VDSAP112.pdf>

Which from the online page can be used to replace thermostatic
radiator valve heads and controlled electrically with 230 or 24
volts.
