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.
The single most important condition for a successful synthesis is good mixing - Nicodem

Oh G-d, not that bloody old chestnut again! 
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.
