I have a 2" x 4' packed column and I imagine that some reflux eventually finds its way back into the boiling wash below. And even though what goes back is low wines (from a 12% wash for example) the low wines will still be a lot "cleaner" than the wash below, so why contaminate it again?
Has anybody built (can't find it with google) a catch pot within the boiler itself to accumulate the drippings coming off the column? I am thinking that whatever low wines that ends up in this reboiler will boil again considering that the reflux's boiling point is lower than the wash itself. Heat comes from the wash through conduction. Please refer to cutaway drawing below.
Thanks for any inputs!
