Why does the condensate trap have a barrier in the middle and a blacking
plug on the otherside of the barrier?


It's designed to siphon intermittent when full rather than trickle
continuously. Possibly to reduce chance of freezing.

I don't believe that design will result in syphonic action.


On what basis? Looks like a classic siphon to me.


The purpose of the trap is to avoid the passing of flue gasses into the drain.


That makes sense.
