To construct a gas liquid separator that has a simple configuration but can eliminate freezing at the bottom of the gas liquid separator and quickly discharge water from the bottom.SOLUTION: A gas liquid separator includes a housing H, a gas-liquid separation portion that separates water from the water-containing gas in the upper part of the housing H, a water storage portion 7 that stores water separated from the water-containing gas in the lower part of the housing H, a discharge hole passage 11 that discharges water in the water storage portion 7 to the outside of the housing, and a heating member 20 that is disposed at the bottom of the water storage portion 7 in a region where the water flows into the discharge hole path 11, and whose temperature increases due to heat transmitted from a heating element F that generates heat when energized. The heating member 20 includes a main body portion 22 housed in the bottom of the water storage portion 7 with the heating element F disposed outside the water storage portion 7, and a plate-shaped portion 21 that protrudes upward from the main body portion 22.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】単純な構成でありながら気液分離器の底部での凍結を解消し、底部の水の排出を迅速に行える気液分離器を構成する。【解決手段】ハウジングＨと、ハウジングＨの上部において含水ガスから水を分離する気液分離部と、ハウジングＨの下部において含水ガスから分離した水を貯留する貯水部７と、貯水部７の水をハウジングの外部に排出する排出孔路１１と、貯水部７の底部で水が排出孔路１１に流れる領域に配置され、通電により発熱する発熱体Ｆから伝えられる熱により温度が上昇する加熱部材２０と備えた。加熱部材２０は、発熱体Ｆが貯水部７の外部に配置された状態で、貯水部７の底部に収容される本体部２２と、この本体部２２から上方に突出する板状部２１とを有している。【選択図】図４
