I've seen some designs that actually use water as the transport and
many-finned radiators at each end. Radiator transfer heat into cold water
inside which is pumped up a radiator in the sub-zero temps on the roof and
exchanged and then looped back.
Same basic principle as a traditional residential heat-pump that loops
through the ground 20 feet down or so.
I think using straight air would probably not be as efficient as a
closed-loop water transfer.
