To construct a gas-liquid separator that can be miniaturized without degrading the water separation performance of water-containing gas.SOLUTION: A gas-liquid separator includes, in a housing H, a gas-liquid separation unit 3 that separates water from water-containing gas, and a water storage unit 4 that stores the water separated by the gas-liquid separation unit 3. The gas-liquid separation unit 3 includes a tubular separation space T along the horizontal central axis X, an introductory pipe 1 that supplies hydrous gas, a collision wall 21 of the inner wall of the separation space T, and a drain opening 22 that sends out water and dehydrated gas obtained by separating water. The collision wall 21 is formed in a region shorter than the total length of the separation space T in the direction along the central axis X, such that a confluence space is formed between the end portion of the collision wall 21 in the extending direction and the end wall at a position facing the end wall, and a drain opening 22 is formed at the bottom of the confluence space.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】含水ガスの水の分離性能を低下させることなく小型化が可能な気液分離器を構成する。【解決手段】含水ガスから水を分離する気液分離部３と、気液分離部３で分離された水を溜める貯水部４と、をハウジングＨに備えている。気液分離部３が、横向きの中心軸Ｘに沿う筒状の分離空間Ｔと、含水ガスを供給する導入管１と、分離空間Ｔの内壁の衝突壁２１と、水および水が分離した脱水ガスを送り出すドレン開口２２と、を備えている。衝突壁２１が、中心軸Ｘに沿う方向で分離空間Ｔの全長より短い領域に形成されることで衝突壁２１の延出方向の端部と、これに対向する位置の端部壁との間に合流空間が形成され、この合流空間の底部にドレン開口２２を形成した。【選択図】図３
