Abstract

An oil separator includes a heating device that heats liquid stored in a liquid storage portion, a connecting pipe that connects the liquid storage portion to an external device that utilizes oil, an opening/closing device that selectively opens and closes the flow path of the connecting pipe, and a determination device that determines whether the liquid stored in the liquid storage portion should be delivered to the external device. The opening/closing device is configured to open the flow path of the connecting pipe when the determination device determines that the liquid accumulated in the liquid storage portion should be delivered to the external device.
