Figure 1 A third port 23 and a fourth port 24 are formed on the bottom surface of the adapter block 2 in the orientation shown in the figure, the first side surface and the second side surface are opposite sides of the adapter block 2, the first port 21 and the third port 23 form a first channel (not labeled in the figure), the second port 22 and the fourth port 24 form a second channel (not labeled in the figure), the first side surface is fixedly connected to the top plate 12 so that the first port 21 is connected to the separator inlet and the second port 22 is connected to the separator outlet, and a projection area (that is, the matching area between the top plate 12 and the first side surface of the adapter block 2) is projected on the adapter block 2 along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 11, the first port 21 and the second port 22 are within the projection area, and the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are outside the projection area.

[0029] In this technical solution, the first port 21 is connected to the separator inlet, the second port 22 is connected to the separator outlet, and at the same time, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are arranged outside the aforementioned projection area via the first channel and the second channel, so that the connection position between the inlet and outlet of the gas-liquid separator and the external connecting pipe is transferred to outside the aforementioned projection area, which can facilitate pipeline docking and meet the installation requirements of the gas-liquid separator.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the first channel is arranged in parallel with the second channel, and the central axes of the first port 21, the second port 22, the third port 23 and the fourth port 24 are all arranged in parallel, so that the external connecting pipe can be parallel to the axial direction of the outer tube 11, making the arrangement of the external pipeline more reasonable.

The dryer cylinder installation hole 131 is sealed with a second plug 132, and the dryer cylinder assembly 14 is clamped between the second plug 132 and the end cover 15. When the desiccant 141 needs to be replaced, the second plug 132 can be removed from the dryer cylinder installation hole 131 from the outside, which is very convenient.

[0037] See Figure 3As shown, the separator body 1 further includes a separation assembly 16 in the outer tube 11, and the separation assembly 16 includes an inner tube 161 and an outer tube 162 which are sleeved with inner and outer intervals, and the fluid flows through the inner and outer intervals, and one end of the inner tube 161 or the outer tube 162 is expanded with the end cover 15.
