Abstract: A reaction apparatus used for a continuous reaction process for the preparation of trifluoroethane includes a housing, a rotary cutting component, a submersible pump and a flow deflector. The flow deflector includes two sets of flow-deflecting plates, each set of said flow-deflecting plates including a plurality of flow-deflecting plates. Two sets of flow-deflecting plates are fixed to each of the two opposing side walls, and the two adjacent flow-deflecting plates are in offset alignment. The submersible pump is arranged inside the reaction chamber body. A liquid inlet line can connect a directly to the submersible pump without requiring the arrangement of an additional pipeline.
