As discussed herein, a first aspect of the present invention provides a round energy transfer component. The ground energy transfer component can include an outer tube having an upper end and a lower end. The outer tube can be constructed out of generally thermally conductive material. The ground energy transfer component can include an inner tube. The inner tube can be constructed out of generally thermally insulative material. The inner tube can be coupled to the outer tube and positioned generally coaxially with the outer tube to define a generally thermally insulated interior of the inner tube and a channel between the inner tube and the outer tube. The inner tube can have an upper end and a lower end, with the inner tube's lower end defining one or more openings to permit fluid communication between the channel and the interior of the inner tube. The ground energy transfer component can include a base connected to the lower end of the outer tube to substantially seal the lower end of the outer tube. The ground energy transfer component can include first and second connectors coupled to the inner and outer tubes. The first and second connectors can be configured to connect the ground energy transfer component to HVAC pipes of an HVAC system so that HVAC fluid from the HVAC system can flow through the ground energy transfer component. The channel can be configured to create more turbulence in the flowing HVAC fluid than is the interior of the inner tube.

Selon un premier aspect, l'invention concerne un élément de transfert d'énergie géothermique pouvant comporter un tube externe à extrémités supérieure et inférieure. Le tube peut être en matériau généralement à conduction thermique. L'élément décrit peut comprendre un tube interne susceptible d'être en matériau généralement à isolation thermique. Le tube interne peut être couplé au tube externe et placé généralement en position coaxiale par rapport au tube externe pour définir un espace interne généralement à isolation thermique dans le tube interne et un canal entre les tubes interne et externe. Le tube interne peut avoir une extrémité supérieure et une extrémité inférieure, l'extrémité inférieure du tube interne définissant une ou plusieurs ouvertures de passage de fluide entre le canal et l'espace interne du tube interne. L'élément selon l'invention peut comporter une base reliée à l'extrémité inférieure du tube externe pour sertir sensiblement l'extrémité inférieure du tube externe. L'élément selon l'invention peut comprendre des premier et second connecteurs couplés aux deux tubes, pouvant être configurés pour connecter l'élément selon l'invention à des tuyaux de chauffage, ventilation et conditionnement d'air (CVC) de système CVC, de sorte qu'un fluide CVC provenant dudit système puisse passer dans l'élément selon l'invention. On peut configurer le canal pour créer plus de turbulence dans le fluide CVC qui s'écoule que dans l'espace interne du tube interne.
