An anti-icing system for annular gas turbine engine inlet housings includes a substantially closed annular housing at a leading edge of the gas turbine engine inlet housing, the annular housing containing a quantity of air and a conduit extending from a source of high-pressure hot bleed air to the annular housing. The system also includes an injector connected to the end of the conduit and extending into the annular housing and one or more nozzles extending outwardly from the injector in a direction that the quantity of air circulates in the annular housing. The system may include one or both of an airfoil on an upstream side of the injector and an air direction element disposed one the injector that causes the quantity of air to be directed toward an outlet of the one or more nozzles.
