Abstract
An oil separator is provided with a housing having an inlet for air, an expansion chamber provided inside the housing, and a heating device for heating the lower part of the expansion chamber. The oil separator introduces, into the housing, air containing oil that has passed through the inlet, and separates and recovers the oil from the air that has been introduced. The transverse cross-sectional area of the expansion chamber is larger than the opening area of the inlet.
