Abstract
Gas/liquid separating devices include a separator ( ) for separating a mixed gas/liquid flow (M). A liquid drain ( ) communicates with the separator and defines a liquid storage chamber ( ). The liquid drain serves to temporarily store a liquid separated from the mixed flow within the liquid storage chamber, so that a space that is not occupied by the liquid is ensured within the liquid storage chamber. An adjusting mechanism ( ) may serve to adjust the pressure within the space of the liquid storage chamber.
