Abstract: A fluid heating system for heating and dispensing fluid in a primary fluid flow path is disclosed, and may include a reservoir defining an interior for holding a quantity of a fluid, with the interior being in fluid communication with the primary fluid flow path such that the quantity of fluid in the interior is able to flow into the primary fluid flow path. A primary pump may be configured to pump fluid in the primary fluid flow path, the primary pump being in fluid communication with the primary fluid flow path. A fluid dispensing device may be configured to selectively dispense fluid from the primary fluid flow path. A steam injection apparatus may be in communication with the interior of the reservoir device to inject steam into the interior to heat fluid located in the interior of the reservoir.

Abstract: A system for heating and pressurizing fluid that defines a primary fluid flow path, and may comprise a fluid inlet into the flow path for receiving fluid at an initial fluid temperature, a fluid outlet out of the flow path, a fluid pump configured to raise the pressure of the fluid in the fluid path, and a flow diverter valve configured to divert fluid flow from the primary fluid flow path to a secondary fluid flow path. A fluid heating device may be configured to heat fluid passing through the primary fluid path, and may be incapable of heating the fluid from a first inlet temperature range to the outlet temperature in an outlet temperature range, but is capable of heating the fluid from a second inlet temperature range to the outlet temperature in the outlet temperature range.
