Reservoirs/air traps are exactly what they sound like: they store excess coolant and allow air bubbles a place to escape your cooling loop. Bleeding a closed system dry is extremely difficult to do. Using a res/at, you can fill it, run the pump for a few seconds, fill again, run, ... until you have a filled system. Then you just run it for an hour or so and all the air trapped in your lines and components get trapped in the res. Air bubbles in your system can reduce performance drastically, and can damage your pump over time, so making sure they are removed from your system is very important.
