flow rate through the trap is compressed air while the liquid to be removed from system is water condensate resulting from compressing the air. so my question is what have to be checked before buying a drain trap and what is the type of trap suitable for compressed air application.

A 1/2" (13mm) bucket trap ought to work just fine. A smaller trap might suffice, but it won't cost much less.
