indbyrdes

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Fluid mechanics
Are they talking about "mutual gaps" between multiple spreaders or a gap on both sides of a single spreader? Context below

Spredere 17 skal anbringes med en indbyrdes afstand hen gennem den horisontalt forløbende rørsløjfe 16 i loop reaktor 1, hvilken aftsand skal afpasses, så gasboblerne efter spreder 17 stadig er fordelt over den overvejende del af rørdiameteren D. Denne indbyrdes afstand mellem på hinanden følgende spredere 17 skal være mindre end eller lig med en største afstand som er givet.

"a mutual distance"

1. Source text is not clear
2. "Spreaders" not spreader, they are in plural in the source text.
3. Mutual could refer to distance in between spreaders in a group or the distance to spreaders from another group.

Not enough context and source text is not very well written, so literally:

"Spreaders 17 should be placed at a mutual distance to the horisontal etc......"

and

"The above-mentioned [you need to insert that to make the sentence work] mutual distance between those spreaders 17 that follow each other should be less than etc..."

Both ?

Mutal gaps and gaps on each side would be the same in my oppinion.

internal

Based on the context, I would think that "internal dimension/distance" is probaly what is meant.
