A liquid separator in a refrigerating air conditioning apparatus to be provided in the pipeline connecting the compressor and the evaporator thereof is disclosed wherein a container having generally a horizontal cylindrical form with closed ends has its inside divided into two spaces by a rectangular partition plate elongating horizontally and secured at its three sides to the inside walls of the container, the other side being separated from one of the ends so as to leave a gap therebetween. Inlet and exit pipes for a refrigerant gas are secured to the outer wall of the container to be opened into the two spaces, a high pressure liquified refrigerant coil being disposed within the one of the spaces to which the inlet pipe opens so that its principal flow direction intersects orthogonally the direction of the inlet pipe. The container is further provided with a tube having a bottomed end introduced therein so as to have the bottom end reside in the gap, the tube mounting therein a temperature sensing element adapted to coact with a high pressure liquified refrigerant flow rate regulating valve mounted to a pipe conveying the liquified refrigerant to the evaporator.
