This pair of pipes, which are integrally connected, are installed in the ground
in a hole or bore and then are connected to a heat exchanger having a fluid inlet
connected to one of the pipes, a fluid outlet connected to the other of the pipes
and the end of the pipes remote from the heat exchanger which are connected together.
