    Abstract: 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.
