please could someone explain the downcomers and the construction of them?

there is many constructions and prob will depend on what plates you use. But just having the next size up stop end soldered on with holes drilled in the inside pipe so the liquid can get threw. There are many types but the idea of them is the bottom has to be submerged so the vapour doesnt drive its self up the downcomer instead is forced threw the plate.
