Fluid heating system and instant fluid heating device
First Claim
1. A fluid heating device comprising:
- an inlet port;
an outlet port;
at least one heat source connected with the inlet port and having a first heat source outlet;
a valve connected to the at least one heat source and the outlet port;
a first temperature sensor connected to the at least one heat source for detecting a first temperature of fluid inside the at least one heat source; and
an ECU that regulates a power supply to the at least one heat source,wherein the ECU actuates the valve to discharge fluid from the outlet port when the first temperature of fluid inside the at least one heat source is at or above a predetermined temperature.

Abstract
A fluid heating system may be installed for residential and commercial use, and may deliver fluid at consistent high temperatures for cooking, sterilizing tools or utensils, hot beverages and the like, without a limit on the number of consecutive discharges of fluid. The fluid heating system is installed with a tankless fluid heating device that includes an inlet port, an outlet port, at least one heat source connected with the inlet port, and a valve connecting the at least one heat source to the outlet port. A temperature sensor is downstream of the at least one heat source and connected to the valve. Another temperature sensor is on the heat source to enable it to be kept at an elevated temperature. The valve is operated so that an entire volume of a fluid discharge from the fluid heating system is delivered at a user-specified temperature on demand, for every demand.
