Claim:
1. A sub sea multi-phase distribution system for a gas/liquid mixture comprising hydrocarbons and an antihydrate-forming agent, the subsea multi-phase distribution system, comprising: at least one distribution chamber provided with a distribution surface for spreading liquid, at least one inlet, arranged for supplying a hydrocarbon-containing gas/liquid mixture to the distribution surface, a collecting space at least partly defined by the distribution surface, for collecting gas separated from the gas/liquid mixture, multiple outlet elements arranged on the distribution surface, and multiple heat exchange channels, wherein each heat exchange channel is connected to or forms a respective outlet elements, each outlet element transports gas from the collecting space and liquid from the distribution surface away from the distribution chamber to a respective heat exchange channel, and each outlet element comprises at least one flow aperture, and the flow aperture is arranged to provide a gas flow area for transporting gas from the collecting space and a liquid flow area for transporting liquid from the distribution surface, such that both gas and liquid are transported through each flow aperture to each respective heat exchange channel.
