The body operates while connected to the oil separator at bottom of the oil separator. The second oil outlet pipe discharges oil stored in the body to the compressor. The opening/closing valve is installed at the second oil outlet pipe to open and to close the second oil outlet pipe. A top surface of the body of the oil tank is modified so as to be directly communicated with the body of the oil separator.
