An oil separate and collect device () has a horizontally elongated container body () disposed in a horizontal orientation. A gas inlet (), through which compressed gas containing oil flows into the container body (), is located at an upper part on one end side of an interior of the container body (). A gas outlet (), through which the compressed gas from which oil has been separated flows out of the container body (), is located at an upper part on the other end side of the interior of the container body (). A partition board () divides a lower part of the interior of the container body () into a first chamber () on a gas inlet () side and a second chamber () on a gas outlet () side.

Oil separate and collect device

A distillation apparatus includes a separator, a cooler, a heater, and a heat collection circuit. The heat collection circuit includes a circulation channel, a compressor, an expanding mechanism, a storing section capable of storing a working medium in a liquid state, and a circulation-amount adjusting section that adjusts a circulation amount of the working medium. The circulation-amount adjusting section adjusts an outflow amount of the working medium, which is stored in the storing section, to the circulation channel or an inflow amount of the working medium, which is circulating in the circulation channel, to the storing section such that the circulation amount increases or decreases according to an increase or a decrease in a flow rate of the first output fluid.
