<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piping system capable of extending the lifetime of a reformer. <P>SOLUTION: The piping system has a fuel processor 3 including a reformer 31 for generating the hydrogen gas from the fuel gas, a hydrogen gas supply including many buffer tanks 4a and 4b which are connected in parallel with each other for storing the hydrogen gas and supplying the hydrogen gas to fuel cells 9a to 9d; a distributor unit 5 having a controller 302 for supplying the hydrogen gas to the fuel cells 9a to 9d selectively from one of the reformer 31 or buffer tanks 4a and 4b depending on the hydrogen amounts consumed by the fuel cells 9a to 9d, and having a header 51 connected to the buffer tanks 4a and 4b; and many flexible pipings 131a each of which comprises a straight tube 132a and a coating resin 133a, and is connected between the header 51 and fuel cells 9a to 9d mounted on each of exclusively used floors of a building 100. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
