Wouldn't that pattern give much better heat absorption than the traditional straight tubes? While certainly more difficult to manufacture, if done at the optimal bend rate (whatever that is) it should dramatically increase steam output, shouldn't it?
In short: Yes. Modern high efficiency condensing water heaters in Canada use this type of design for improved efficiency.
