The thumper acts like a stage in a distillation column right? In a another thread some time ago we discussed whether or not a distillation column
should be insulated. We decided that it should.
My recollection of industrial distillation columns is that they are insulated.

Oh G-d, not that bloody old chestnut again! ![:)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
Yes, if one has the means to create reflux at the top of the column then insulation is much to be desired.
Industrial column have elaborate reflux/reboiler system and the columns are well insulated.
But many OCers (like me) use non-insulated or partly insulated columns because they have no refluxer at the top. In that case reflux is created by
means of natural condensation.
With regards thumpers I have some evidence that what I called H<sub>loss</sub> maybe important for the functioning of the
thumper I could be wrong on that of course.
