HyperCore^® Technology

Guaranteed Heating, Even on the Coldest Days

Did you know ordinary heat pumps start to produce less heat below 7 degrees? The reduction in heat produced by ordinary heat pumps is especially noticeable when temperature drops below zero.

This is because at these low temperature conditions ordinary heat pumps can really struggle to cope. HyperCore guarantees its full rated heating capacity right down to -15 degrees!

Ground frost occurs when the air at ground level is chilled below freezing point.

The map shows just how many ground frost days there are right across the country during winter. In these low temperature conditions the performance of a normal heat pump deteriorates. HyperCore Technology however continues to provide the maximum level of energy efficient heating output.

The result? Your room heats up fast and stays warm when you need it most.

HyperCore Technology

Guaranteed Full Rated Heating Capacity

Mitsubishi Electric HyperCore Technology is specifically designed to ensure its full rated capacity is produced, on all those cold frosty days. In fact, it guarantees its full rated heating capacity right down to -15°C! It’s our guarantee that no matter where you live, if you experience frosty winter days, it will give you peace of mind that you will get all the heat you paid for whilst feeling the warmth when it matters most. As the graph (right) shows, even though both heat pumps are rated to provide 6kW of heat, their performance differs greatly as the temperature drops. While the standard heat pump produces less heat, the HyperCore LN50 model continues to deliver the full 6kW you paid for. The result? Your room heats up fast and stays warm when you need it most.

Think of it This Way

A small car that has to pull a heavy trailer is likely to struggle and could double its normal fuel consumption.
A large SUV on the other hand is specifically designed to pull heavy loads. In comparison to the small car pulling a trailer, it is likely to do this quicker, more effective and with greater fuel efficiency because its total performance is not compromised by the additional load it now needs to tow.

New Zealand’s Best Low Temperature Heating Performance, Guaranteed.

Superior Heat Output – The HyperCore Guarantee

Our HyperCore Heat Pumps are guaranteed to perform at its peak from +7°C to –15°C and will not lower their heating performance even when it is snowing outside. So you can be assured that you will be kept snug throughout winter. HyperCore is also highly recommended for humid and high altitude areas.

HyperCore Compressor

HyperCore Heat Pumps are fitted with a ‘heating caulking compressor’ unique to Mitsubishi Electric. The compressor is extremely efficient in its construction and performance. This compressor moves more vapour volume for less energy input and allows the compressor to maintain efficiency and higher revolutions.

Advanced Defrost Logic

When temperatures drop below zero degrees ice will build up on the outdoor unit of any heat pump. How the heat pump reacts to this determines how effective it will be in providing heat to your home. To remove the ice build up the heat pump will need to go into “Defrost Mode” and during this time the heat pump will not be delivering heat into your home. HyperCore’s Defrost Logic has been fine-tuned to extend the period in between defrost periods and optimise its heating performance.

Heating performance to -25°C

All Mitsubishi Electric HyperCore Heat Pumps have an extended heating operation range that allows heating to -25°C. To achieve this, the system logic within HyperCore Heat Pumps has been refined to decrease the number of defrost cycles required under colder ambient conditions. Additionally, all HyperCore Heat Pump outdoor units incorporate a 130 watt drain tray de-icer. This de-icer prevents ice forming on the base, which due to ice expansion would inadvertently effect the performance of the unit. Importantly this de-icer does not supplement the heating cycle in any way, and will not operate under most ambient conditions above zero degrees.
