Abstract

A heat transfer system for transferring heat between a heat-emitting zone or heat source and a heat-consuming zone or heat sink in accordance with a heat pipe principle in cases where a limited relative movement takes place between the heat source and the heat sink. A bundle of small tubes extending essentially in parallel to one another and movable relative to one another is arranged at least along a partial zone of a heat transfer path between the heat source and the heat sink. Each individual tube of the bundle of tubes is constructed in accordance with the heat pipe principle.
