RE: air trap and steam trap
A float steam trap is located at the bottom of a steam filled system. It will allow liquid condensate to drain out until the float falls and closes the drain valve to prevent steam from escaping. Many float steam traps also include a thermostatic air vent which will allow air in the system to vent out to the condensate line until hot steam reaches and closes the vent.
