To provide a gas-liquid separator capable of discharging water from different gas-liquid separation chambers regardless of the pressure of gas-liquid two-phase flow to be introduced to different inlets.SOLUTION: In a gas-liquid separator 10, a casing 20 includes inlets 23A and 23B into which gas-liquid two-phase flow 11 is individually introduced, and gas-liquid separation chambers 21A and 21B for individually separating the gas-liquid two-phase flow 11 introduced from the inlets 23A and 23B into a liquid phase and a gas phase, and a discharge unit 30 for discharging the liquid phase 12 in the gas-liquid separation chambers 21A and 21B to the outside of the casing 20. The discharge unit 30 includes a first opening/closing portion 31A that allows the first gas-liquid separation chamber 21A and the outside of the casing 20 to communicate with each other by opening and closing, and a second opening/closing portion 31B for allowing the second gas-liquid separation chamber 21B and the first gas-liquid separation chamber 21A or the outside of the casing 20 to communicate with each other by opening and closing. The second opening/closing portion 31B is displaced toward the first gas-liquid separation chamber 21A to perform an opening operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】異なる導入口に導入される気液二相流の圧力に関係なく、異なる気液分離室から排水することが可能な気液分離器を提供する。【解決手段】気液分離器１０において、ケーシング２０は、気液二相流１１が個別に導入される導入口２３Ａ，２３Ｂと、各々の導入口２３Ａ，２３Ｂから導入された気液二相流１１を液相と気相とに分離する個別の気液分離室２１Ａ，２１Ｂと、気液分離室２１Ａ，２１Ｂの液相１２をケーシング２０外に排出する排出部３０と、を備え、排出部３０は、第１気液分離室２１Ａとケーシング２０外とを開閉により連通可能な第１開閉部３１Ａと、第２気液分離室２１Ｂと第１気液分離室２１Ａ又はケーシング２０外とを開閉により連通可能な第２開閉部３１Ｂと、が設けられ、第２開閉部３１Ｂは、第１気液分離室２１Ａ側に変位させて開動作を行う。【選択図】図１
