Abstract

A multi-temperature output fluid heating system including an input for receiving a fluid supply, a single heating source, a first output, a second output and a bypass path. The first output is fluidly connected to the input, where the first output is adapted for control by a first control device and to receive heat from the single heating source to achieve a first temperature at the first output. The bypass path fluidly connects the input and the second output. The input is adapted to empty a first portion of the fluid supply into the first output and a second portion of the input into the bypass path. The second output is adapted to receive an output from the first output and an output from the bypass path to achieve a second temperature.

First claim

What is claimed herein is:

1. A method of adjusting the target temperature of a fluid heating system, said method comprising:
(a) obtaining a log of at least one event over a period of time;
(b) calculating a parameter of said at least one event over said period of time from said log;
(c) comparing said parameter to a pre-determined threshold, wherein if said parameter exceeds said pre-determined threshold, a difference between the parameter and said pre-determined threshold is calculated; and
(d) applying said difference to the target temperature of the fluid heating system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said parameter is frequency.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid heating system comprises a space heating loop having a supply line and a return line and said parameter is the temperature of the return line.

4. The method of claim 1 , said event is selected from the group consisting of turn-on-off of the fluid heating system, turn-on of the fluid heating system, turn-off of the fluid heating system and duration of turn-on of the fluid heating system.
