Bravo BRV-M18CT-230VI Ceiling Cassette Indoor Unit 18000 Btu 230V Multi-zone Mini Split

Product Description

The Bravo BRV-M18CT-230VI is an 18,000 BTU ceiling cassette indoor unit designed for ductless mini split heat pump systems operating on 208/230 volts, single-phase, 60 Hz power. Built for multi-zone configurations, this cassette mounts flush in the ceiling to deliver consistent, 360-degree airflow distribution across the conditioned space. The unit uses R32 refrigerant, which carries a lower global warming potential than older refrigerant blends. With a maximum indoor airflow of 442 CFM and an indoor noise level rated at 45 dB(A), it suits commercial and residential spaces where both comfort and quiet operation matter. A licensed HVAC technician performs installation.

The BRV-M18CT-230VI is intended for use as an indoor air handler in multi-zone ductless mini split systems. Its ceiling cassette form factor makes it well suited for open-plan commercial spaces, retail environments, offices, and larger residential rooms where wall-mount or floor-mount units are not practical. The unit pairs with compatible Bravo Milano multi-zone outdoor condensers. Documented system configurations include 2-zone setups at 30,000 BTU and 42,000 BTU outdoor capacity, as well as 3-zone setups at 42,000 BTU outdoor capacity, each using multiple BRV-M18CT-230VI indoor units.
