Saving space with smaller tube bundles
ERK Tube application need smaller heating and transfer surface in comparison to smooth-bore tube. Thus, less and shorter tubes can be used - the tube bundle as a whole becomes smaller.

Evaporator of an ORC working fluid; Due to the high heat transfer factor of five compared to smooth-bore tubes the bundle can be reduced in size by more than 50% depending on application.
