What is the principle behind water carried back by the reflux at the top of the tower causing damage to the tower?

Because the boiling point of water is lower than that of oil.

The tower temperature is high; the entry of water causes bumping and overflows the tower.

The oil returning with water enters the top of the tower. Since the vaporization heat of water is more than 4 times greater than that of oil, and the volume of water vapor is 10 times larger than that of oil vapor, this results in an increase in pressure at the top of the tower and a decrease in temperature there as well

Because water vaporizes more easily, a large amount of vaporization in the vapor phase can cause flooding of the tower.

The high rate of water evaporation prevents the liquid phase from descending, causing flooding in the tower.
