Why use water bath for heating during distillation?

A water bath is only used when the material to be distilled meats two criteria. The first is that the material would deteriorate if exposed to a temperature above a certain temperature and secondly if he distillation temperature is at or below 100oC. In the first car it is easier to control the temperature of a large volume of water because of its thermal inertia rather than control the temperature by using direct heat on a small volume of material to be distilled. In addition the water bath avoids local hot spots in the distillation vessel. The second points obvious in that materials will not distill at temperatures below their own boiling point. With the advent of reliable electrical heating systems water baths have been superseded with temperature controlled electrical heating systems. All the advantages of a water bath, more precise temperature control and less mess.
