Not true. This design causes mixing in the water (turbulence) which is good for heat transfer.

Many oil coolers have turbulators similar to the ones D-Tek uses. I am quite surprised that the TC-4 would perform better without the turbulators; it seemed to have a boost relative to other maze-type blocks in Bill's test data.
