The paper presents a study of empirical scaling of energy confinement observed experimentally in stellarator/heliotron devices (Heliotron E, Wendelstein VII-A, L2, Heliotron DR) for plasmas heated by electron cyclotron heating and/or neutral beam injection. The proposed scaling of the gross energy confinement time is: , where P is the absorbed power (MW), n is the line average electron density (1020 m−3), B is the magnetic field strength on the plasma axis (T), a is the average minor radius (m) and R is the major radius (m). The empirical scaling of the density limit obtainable under the optimum condition is proposed to be: . These scalings for helical systems are compared with those in tokamaks. The energy confinement scaling has a similar power dependence as the L-mode scaling of tokamaks. The density limit scaling for helical systems seems to indicate an upper limit of the achievable density similar to that in many tokamaks. From the energy confinement time and the density limit , a beta limit can be derived: , which can be lower than the stability/equilibrium beta limit. Thus, from the viewpoint of designing a machine, the values of B, a and R should be selected with care because the dependence of the confinement time (or nτET) and of the above beta limit on these values is different.
