Gas-liquid separator

A gas-liquid separator comprising:

• a housing member comprising an inlet port through which air is introduced, a discharge port through which the air is discharged, and a drain port through which droplets separated from the air are discharged;
• a vane rotatably disposed in the housing member and configured to generate a vortex in the air introduced into the inlet port;
• a droplet agglomeration guide disposed at a downstream side of the vane and configured to come into contact with the air having passed through the vane, the droplet agglomeration guide being configured to guide agglomeration of the droplets contained in the air, wherein the droplet agglomeration guide has a cross-sectional area that gradually increases from an end that is adjacent to the vane toward a second end, and wherein an inclined guide portion is defined on a peripheral surface of the droplet agglomeration guide and is configured to guide the droplets toward an inner peripheral surface of the housing member;
• and
• a guide member disposed in the housing member and positioned at a downstream side of the droplet agglomeration guide, the guide member defining an air discharge flow path configured to guide the air, which is separated from the droplets, to the discharge port, and a droplet discharge flow path configured to guide the droplets separated from the air to the drain port.

• a body portion configured to separate the air discharge flow path and the droplet discharge flow path;
• and
• an air guide portion disposed in the body portion and configured to guide the air, which is separated from the droplets in the droplet discharge flow path, to the air discharge flow path.
