Sure. For example, crossover traps at the ends of steam mains (which allow air to get into the dry returns, but not steam, thus allowing the steam mains to vent faster) are very commonly use.

More details?

    Steam Trap Locations

    Can steam traps (thermodynamic) be installed above the steam main? If so is there any special piping requirements that need to be provided from the drip leg i.e. water seal etc. If thermodynamic traps are not appropriate can a different style trap be used?
