The invention discloses a method for preparing trifluoromethyl-1,2,2-trifluoro-1,2-dichloroethyl ether, which comprises the following steps of: 1) continuously introducing gaseous fluoroxy trifluoromethane thinned by using nitrogen from the lower part of a reaction tower, wherein the content of the fluoroxy trifluoromethane is 5 to 50 volume percent; 2) introducing quantitative liquid 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dichloroethylene from the upper part of the reaction tower to countercurrent contact and react with the gaseous fluoroxy trifluoromethane, controlling the reaction temperature to be between 110 DEG C below zero and 5 DEG C below zero through a heat exchange device, generating the trifluoromethyl-1,2,2-trifluoro-1,2-dichloroethyl ether, and discharging the un-reacted incoagulable gas from thetop of the reaction tower for neutralization treatment; and 3) when the tail gas discharged from the top of the reaction tower contains the fluoroxy trifluoromethane or the 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dichloroethylene content of the sampled analysis liquid phase is less than 1 volume percent by detection, terminating the reaction, and stopping introducing the gaseous fluoroxy trifluoromethane. The method has the advantages of low metering requirement, convenience of operation, long service life of equipment and high yield.
