The Tru-D® iQ system has been shown to have notably faster cycle times than the Tru-D Classic device. The shorter cycle times can be attributed to several new features of the Tru-D iQ system including Dynamic Dosing, Flux Acceleration, more efficient amalgam lamps and the robust Tru-D SmartHUB.
Dynamic Dosing: Dynamic Dosing is a method of shifting available lamp power away from areas of high reflectivity to areas of lower reflectivity. By directing this excess energy in the direction of lower dose sensors, UVC energy is optimized in less reflective areas in a room, and cycle times are reduced. The shape of a room impacts Dynamic Dosing capabilities. For instance, a square-shaped room will rely less on Dynamic Dosing because the walls are all equidistant from the device; whereas a rectangular-shaped room will depend on Dynamic Dosing to ensure more energy is directed toward the walls further from the device.
Flux Acceleration: Flux acceleration ensures bulb peak performance by preheating to optimal operating temperature and minimizing bulb startup time. As the iQ system’s bulbs rise, the bulbs are preheated so that when ready to begin a cycle, there is minimal time needed to heat up the bulbs to the ideal operating temperature.
Tru-D SmartHUB: The all-new Tru-D SmartHUB provides personalized reporting that provides facility leadership with the tools to dig deeper into data and correlate usage to the organization’s disinfection goals. SmartHUB also provides predictive maintenance alerts that keep iQ devices running and increase uptime. It also reports idle time between when the device shuts offs and when it is unplugged, ensuring operators are using the device as efficiently as possible.
Amalgam lamps: The Tru-D iQ system uses more efficient lamps and utilizes pre-heating of lamps for minimal warmup time.
