To prevent a malfunction of a drain valve of a gas-liquid separator even at a temperature below a freezing point, and reduce a size and simplify various systems including the gas-liquid separator.SOLUTION: A storage part forming member 130 is arranged on a bottom part of a gas-liquid separator 32. In the storage part forming member 130, first storage parts 144a, 144b, second storage parts 146a, 146b, and a third storage part 148 are arranged by first partitioning walls 140a, 140b, second partitioning walls 142a, 142b, and a bottom wall 132 (a third partitioning wall). First communication holes 160a, 160b, second communication holes 162a, 162b, and third communication holes 164a, 164b are formed respectively on the first partitioning walls 140a, 140b, the second partitioning walls 142a, 142b, and the bottom wall 132. A duct 168 is arranged on the bottom wall 132. The first storage parts 144a, 144b, and the third storage part 148 directly communicate through communication ports 158a, 158b.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】氷点下であっても、気液分離器のドレイン弁が動作不良を起こすことを回避するとともに、該気液分離器を含む各種システムの小型化や簡素化を図る。【解決手段】気液分離器３２の底部に、貯留部形成部材１３０を設ける。貯留部形成部材１３０内には、第１区画壁１４０ａ、１４０ｂ、第２区画壁１４２ａ、１４２ｂ、底壁１３２（第３区画壁）によって、第１貯留部１４４ａ、１４４ｂ、第２貯留部１４６ａ、１４６ｂ及び第３貯留部１４８が設けられる。第１区画壁１４０ａ、１４０ｂ、第２区画壁１４２ａ、１４２ｂ、底壁１３２には、第１連通孔１６０ａ、１６０ｂ、第２連通孔１６２ａ、１６２ｂ、第３連通孔１６４ａ、１６４ｂがそれぞれ形成される。底壁１３２には、さらにダクト１６８が設けられる。また、第１貯留部１４４ａ、１４４ｂと第３貯留部１４８は、連通口１５８ａ、１５８ｂを介して直接連通する。【選択図】図５
