Abstract
A flow distributor may comprise an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of holes circumferentially disposed in the flow distributor and extending from the inner surface to the outer surface. Each of the holes may comprise an inlet defined at the inner surface and an outlet defined at the outer surface, wherein each inlet is axially offset from a circumferentially adjacent inlet.

A flow distributor comprising:
- an inner surface;
- an outer surface;
- a first plurality of holes extending from the inner surface to the outer surface;
- and
- a second plurality of holes extending from the inner surface to the outer surface,
- wherein the first plurality of holes are oriented at a first angle with respect to a centerline axis of the flow distributor,
- the second plurality of holes are oriented at a second angle with respect to the centerline axis, and
- the first plurality of holes extend from a first plane at the outer surface to a second plane at the inner surface;
- the second plurality of holes extend from the first plane at the outer surface to a third plane at the inner surface, and
- the second plane and the third plane are axially spaced, the first plane, the second plane, and the third plane are oriented perpendicular to the centerline axis.
