When using a mini split sizing calculator for rooms below a conditioned space, apply an additional .7 factor to your final Btu outcome.
For example, if your Btu requirement via this calculator is 18,000 Btu's: 18,000 Btu's x .7 factor = 12,600 Btu's required. When in doubt, it is okay to go up a size or two. Unlike standard non-variable systems, The mini split inverter technology allows the system to adjust to the actual room requirements in both heating and cooling.
This system includes one Daikin AURORA MXM multi-zone inverter-driven heat pump condenser rated for up to 18,000 BTUs and supports up to 2 compatible indoor units. Indoor units must be selected from Daikin-approved combinations for the included outdoor condenser. Approved indoor unit combinations may exceed the condenser's nominal BTU rating.

The Daikin AURORA 2MXT18AVJU9 is an 18,000 BTU class two-zone mini split heat pump condenser designed to provide efficient year-round comfort for compatible multi-zone applications. Featuring Daikin inverter technology and R32 refrigerant, this outdoor unit can adjust compressor operation to match changing heating and cooling demands while helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
Designed for demanding climates, the AURORA multi-zone platform provides 100% heating performance down to 0°F and operates in heating mode at outdoor temperatures as low as -13°F. With efficiency ratings up to 21 SEER2 and 10 HSPF2, the 2MXT18AVJU9 combines cold-climate performance with flexible multi-zone comfort.
Instead of repeatedly cycling the compressor on and off like a conventional fixed-speed system, Daikin inverter technology adjusts compressor speed according to changing comfort demands. This helps minimize temperature fluctuations, reduce wasted operation, and maintain more consistent heating and cooling throughout the conditioned spaces.
Daikin AURORA is engineered to continue providing heat when outdoor temperatures fall. The system delivers 100% heating performance down to 0°F and supports heating operation at temperatures as low as -13°F, making it well suited for applications that require dependable heat pump performance through colder weather.
The 2MXT18AVJU9 supports compatible two-zone configurations, allowing a single outdoor condenser to serve two indoor comfort zones. Each properly matched indoor unit can address the comfort requirements of its individual space, providing greater flexibility than conditioning the entire home or application as a single zone.
The AURORA 2MXT18AVJU9 uses R32 refrigerant, which has a lower Global Warming Potential than R410A. Combined with Daikin inverter technology, R32 supports the next generation of efficient Daikin residential heating and cooling equipment.
An anti-corrosion treatment on the outdoor heat exchanger uses a hydrophilic coating designed to help keep the outdoor coil clean through rainfall or simple rinsing. This protective treatment helps support long-term system efficiency and durability.
Build flexible two-zone comfort with the Daikin AURORA 2MXT18AVJU9 18,000 BTU Multi-Zone Heat Pump Condenser. Always verify approved indoor-unit combinations and system matchups before selecting equipment.
Compatible Indoor Unit Models: FTXV09AVJU9, FTXV12AVJU9, FTXV15AVJU9, FTXV18AVJU9, FTXV24AVJU9
