Claim:
1. A gas chromatography equipment comprising: a sample introducer; a detector; a column module accommodating a separation column for separating a component from a sample introduced through the sample introducer, the column module including a heater, being configured to independently control temperature of the separation column by the heater, and an end of the separation column being communicated with an end face, which is perpendicular to a main flat surface having the largest area of the column module; and an oven including a housing which accommodates at least a portion of a tube connecting the sample introducer and the column module and at least a portion of a tube connecting the column module and the detector, a heater for heating inside the housing, and a fan for providing mixing inside the housing, wherein a sub-space is provided in a projection section projecting downward from a portion of a bottom face of the housing of the oven, the sub-space communicating with a main space that is a space in the housing other than the sub-space, a column module attaching section for attaching the column module is provided outside the housing and below the main space, wherein a fixed side face, which faces the column module attaching section, of the projection section serves as an attachment face for attaching the column module, and wherein the attachment face is provided with a connection-opening through which an end of a tube in the housing and an end of the separation column are connected, and wherein the column module is attached to the housing in such a way that the main flat surface of the column module is horizontally positioned with the end face of the column module through which the end of the separation column is drawn out being the attachment face.
