Is it a problem if the drain point is too far ahead of the expansion bend in the steam pipeline?

The hydrophobic point is not installed near the expansion bend; it is still about 7-8 meters away. Will there be water hammer caused by the inability to drain condensate during actual operation?
The water at the bend behind will definitely not be able to drain; I hope water hammer won’t occur
Design institutes generally place the water drainage points at the start of the expansion bend, and install liquid collection containers at those locations. With your company’s approach, water may accumulate at the bend, leading to water hammer effects.
