Abstract
A foreign matter removal device removes foreign matter contained in a fluid. The fluid is caused to flow into the trap portion and is separated into an inner fluid flowing inside a separation portion and an outer fluid flowing outside the separation portion. First foreign matter contained in the outer fluid and having a higher specific gravity than the fluid is captured in a gap between an inner wall of the trap portion and the separation portion. Separation of second foreign matter contained in the inner fluid and having a lower specific gravity than the fluid is promoted by a gas-liquid separation portion, and the second foreign matter is discharged to outside, through a foreign-matter-discharging-means-connection portion provided in a ceiling on the vertically upper side at a center part of the trap portion, from foreign-matter-discharging means.
