Abstract
A heat transfer system comprising a hydrogen supply unit 1, which transfers hydrogen from a hydrogen recovery tube 8 to a hydrogen supply tube 7, and a multiplicity of hydrogen utilization units 2A and 2B which utilize hydrogen supplied from the hydrogen supply tube 7 via its branching tubes 7a and 7b, respectively, and return hydrogen to the hydrogen recovery tube 8 via associated branching tubes 8a and 8b. By the use of the hydrogen supply tube 7 and the hydrogen recovery tube 8 having large volumetric capacities and filled with hydrogen, the hydrogen supply unit 1 and the hydrogen utilization units 2A and 2B may operate independently, without being synchronized one other.
