Bravo BRV-MP48AHUW-230VI Multi-position Air Handler 48000 Btu/h Side Discharge Heat Pump Inverter R32 230V

Product Description

The Bravo BRV-MP48AHUW-230VI is a multi-position air handler designed for ducted mini split heat pump systems. It delivers 48,000 BTU/h of cooling capacity with an inverter-driven compressor that modulates output across a range of 16,600 to 49,900 BTU/h, allowing the system to match load conditions rather than cycling on and off at fixed output. The unit operates on 208-230V, single phase, 60Hz power and uses R32 refrigerant. It features side discharge airflow and is designed for flexible installation in multiple orientations. Licensed HVAC technicians perform installation and commissioning on this class of equipment.

The BRV-MP48AHUW-230VI is suited for residential and light-commercial ducted applications where a central air distribution system is required. Its multi-position cabinet allows installation in upflow, downflow, or horizontal configurations depending on the mechanical room layout. The side discharge design accommodates installations where duct connections must exit from the side of the unit rather than the top or bottom. This unit pairs with a compatible Bravo 48,000 BTU/h outdoor inverter condenser to form a complete heat pump system.

Key Features

• 48,000 BTU/h nominal cooling capacity with inverter modulation from 16,600 to 49,900 BTU/h
• Multi-position cabinet supports upflow, downflow, and horizontal installation orientations
• Side discharge airflow configuration for flexible duct routing
• Operates on 208-230V, 1Ph, 60Hz power supply
• R32 refrigerant for reduced global warming potential compared to R410A
• Inverter technology enables variable-speed operation and improved part-load efficiency

Compatibility

Designed for use with a compatible Bravo 48,000 BTU/h inverter outdoor condensing unit in a ducted mini split heat pump configuration. Confirm outdoor unit pairing with Bravo documentation before installation. Communication wiring requires AWG 25x3 signal wire between indoor and outdoor units.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the manufacturer installation manual. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before handling any components. R32 is an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant — consult current edition ASHRAE 15 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements before working with this refrigerant. Do not commission the refrigerant circuit without proper recovery equipment and EPA Section 608 certification.
