Bravo BRV-M18-230VO Multi-zone Outdoor Condenser 18000 Btu 230V Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump

Product Description

The Bravo BRV-M18-230VO is an 18,000 BTU multi-zone outdoor condenser unit designed for ductless mini split heat pump systems. Operating on 208-230 volts at 60 Hz and using R32 refrigerant, this inverter-driven unit delivers both heating and cooling across two independent zones. With a SEER2 rating of 22, it provides strong energy efficiency for residential and light commercial applications. The variable-speed inverter compressor modulates output to match load demand, reducing energy consumption compared to single-speed units. Licensed HVAC technicians install this condenser as part of a complete multi-zone mini split system paired with compatible indoor air handlers.

The BRV-M18-230VO is suited for 2-zone residential or light commercial installations where independent climate control is needed in separate rooms or areas. It is compatible with Bravo Milano indoor units in wall-mount, cassette, and slim duct configurations. Typical applications include multi-room residential retrofits, additions, and light commercial spaces where ducted systems are not practical. The unit handles a heating capacity range of 4,200 to 22,000 BTU/h, allowing it to adapt to varying load conditions across connected zones.

Key Features

• 18,000 BTU/h total cooling capacity supporting up to 2 zones
• SEER2 rating of 22 for energy-efficient operation
• Inverter compressor technology for variable-speed, demand-matched output
• R32 refrigerant with lower global warming potential than R410A
• 208-230V single-phase 60 Hz power supply for standard residential service
• Wide heating capacity range of 4,200 to 22,000 BTU/h for cold-climate flexibility

Compatibility

Compatible with Bravo Milano indoor units in wall-mount, cassette, and slim duct configurations for 2-zone multi-zone systems. Verified compatible indoor unit types include wall-mount and slim duct models within the Bravo Milano series.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and manufacturer requirements. Before servicing or connecting refrigerant lines, shut off all electrical power to the system at the disconnect. R32 is a mildly flammable refrigerant classified as A2L — technicians must follow applicable safety protocols and use equipment rated for A2L refrigerants during handling and recovery. Line set sizing, electrical disconnect rating, and circuit protection must be sized per the unit nameplate and local code requirements.
