If a main steam pipe splits into multiple heating branch pipes, does each end of those heating pipes need to be equipped with a drain? ?
Yes. A drain must be provided for each branch pipe.
Is that at the end of each branch or at the lowest point? ? ? If it is at the lowest point, could there be any impact if the condensate and steam flow in opposite directions?
It must be at the end; there won’t be any issue with backflow
The supervisor should have several water supply points; water supply must be available at the beginning of each branch pipe. Each water supply point should be equipped with a water supply device, which facilitates water delivery and ensures safe and convenient control of steam supply and shutdown.
If it’s for insulation and heat tracing, installations must be provided at the ends; otherwise it would be a great waste
The design specifications should be prepared by the design institute, specifying the length and distance, as well as the number of strainers required. For example, in a power plant, the main pipeline is the primary conduit, while the various pipelines that serve different users along its length are the secondary conduits. And the branch pipes you mentioned are to be installed as required by the roots.
