[0050] The present invention takes actual test examples for further explanation, which are as follows: the present invention conducts experiments on the reaction of R134a+CH2CL2 under different conditions, and conducts multiple experiments in total. The experiment is stopped after 6 hours of reaction, and the raw materials are added again.
[0051] 1. Reaction system: Tube furnace Φ50xΦ50x1000, three-stage, heating section 900, central constant temperature zone 300, volume 0.147L
[0052] 2. Experimental process: After the tubular furnace is heated to the set temperature, CH2CL2 is fed in and adjusted to the set feed rate.

[0059]
[0060] 4. Experimental results analysis:
[0061] (1) R134a and CH2CL2 begin to decompose at 400-700 degrees. The higher the temperature, the higher the decomposition ratio; but the product components are different in different temperature ranges.
[0062] (2) In the range of 400-600 degrees, the proportion of R1234yf generated by the reaction is greater than that of R244bb; the conversion rate of R1234yf can reach 18%;
[0063] (3) In the range of 600-700 degrees, the proportion of R1234yf generated is lower than that of R244bb, and the conversion rate of R244bb is about 38% calculated based on dichloromethane.
[0064] (4) Increasing the feed ratio of R134a at the same temperature is beneficial to increasing the conversion rate of R244bb and reducing the conversion rate of R1234yf.
[0065] (5) Under the temperature condition of about 680 degrees, the feed amount of R134a and CH2CL2 is increased, that is, the space velocity increases, the residence time decreases, the content of R1234yf and R244bb increases, and the conversion rate increases.
[0066] (6) Under the same conditions, when the feed ratio of R134a to CH2CL2 is greater than the theoretical ratio, it is beneficial to the formation of R244 product. When the feed ratio is less than the theoretical ratio, it is beneficial to the formation of R1234yf.
[0067] (7) During the experiment, by adjusting the feed ratio of R134a to CH2CL2, the selectivity of the target product R244bb was as high as 84.4%, and the selectivity of the target product R1234yf was as high as 69.09%.

[0076] Effect of this patent: The present invention is conducive to finding low-cost production of HFO series products, extending the industrial chain of R134a, and promoting the use of R134a as a raw material for preparing the new refrigerant R1234yf. In laboratory experiments, the conversion rate of the product R244bb can reach about 40% calculated by CH2CL2, and the conversion rate of R1234yf reaches 16%. In large-scale production, optimized process design can be used to solve the problem of low single conversion rate. The raw materials that have not reacted in a single time can improve the conversion rate of the reactants through the principle of low-temperature separation and reuse.
