Hi bj, your at it again I see, good on ya pushing the boundaries and searching for improvement. Mate I'm not sure if I'm reading it correctly but how will you direct the refluxed spirit into the outside well of the thumper when it is coming down from the plates above? Will there be a pipe attached to your downcomer on the bottom plate? The reason I ask is that you don't want your spirit falling from your bottom plate straight back into that center tube and back into your boiler. But other than that it looks cool and should work ok, although I'm not sure how much better the product will be? From my understanding a thumper isn't really there to clean your product as much as it is to store your distilate so you don't have to get it out of the wash so many times. I think.
Good luck with it mate and let us know how it goes :handgestures-thumbupleft:
