Daikin RXV30AVJU9 Mini-split Heat Pump Outdoor Unit 2.5 Ton

Product Description

The DAIKIN RXV30AVJU9 is a 2.5-ton ductless mini-split heat pump outdoor unit rated at 30,000 BTU/h. Part of the POLARA series, it uses an inverter-driven swing compressor and R-32 refrigerant to deliver variable-capacity heating and cooling. The unit achieves a 19 SEER2 efficiency rating and an 8.1 HSPF2 heating efficiency, meeting current federal minimum efficiency standards. It operates on 208-230 volts single phase and requires a minimum circuit ampacity of 22 amps with a 25-amp maximum breaker. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this unit as the outdoor section of a matched ductless split system.

The RXV30AVJU9 is designed for residential and light-commercial ductless applications where duct installation is not feasible or desired. It pairs with a compatible DAIKIN POLARA indoor air handler to form a complete split system, providing zoned heating and cooling without ductwork. Typical installations include additions, converted garages, server rooms, and multi-zone residential retrofits. The R-32 refrigerant charge has a lower global warming potential than R-410A, aligning with current environmental direction in the HVAC industry.

Key Features

• 30,000 BTU/h capacity at 2.5-ton nominal rating
• 19 SEER2 cooling efficiency and 8.1 HSPF2 heating efficiency
• Inverter-driven swing compressor for variable-capacity operation and reduced energy cycling
• R-32 refrigerant with lower global warming potential versus R-410A
• 57 dBA outdoor sound level for relatively quiet operation near occupied spaces
• 208-230 volt single-phase power with 25-amp maximum breaker requirement

Compatibility

The RXV30AVJU9 is the outdoor condensing unit for the DAIKIN POLARA ductless mini-split system and is designed to match with a compatible POLARA series indoor air handler. Verify indoor unit model compatibility with DAIKIN documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding an EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling certification. Disconnect and lock out all power to the circuit before making any electrical connections. The outdoor unit requires a dedicated circuit sized per NEC Article 440 and local amendments. Do not operate the unit without first verifying refrigerant line set connections are leak-free and the system has been properly evacuated.
