On-demand tankless high volume capable water heating system

1. A method for controlling an on-demand high volume capable fluid heating system for supplying a total heating power at a turndown ratio and a total flowrate of a fluid supply, said fluid heating system comprising a plurality of heat exchangers fluidly connected in parallel, each of said plurality of heat exchangers comprising: a fluid conductor, wherein each of said plurality of heat exchangers contributes to said total heating power and a portion of the total flowrate of the fluid supply through said fluid conductor; an inlet conductor configured to connect the fluid supply to said plurality of heat exchangers at an upstream location of said plurality of heat exchangers; an outlet conductor configured for receiving the fluid supply downstream of said plurality of heat exchangers; an auxiliary conductor connecting said inlet conductor at a first location and said outlet conductor, said auxiliary conductor comprising a modulating valve; and a pump disposed downstream from said first location on said inlet conductor, wherein said pump is disposed upstream from said plurality of heat exchangers, said method comprising:

(a) controlling said modulating valve to cause a bypass flow through said auxiliary conductor in a first flow mode from said inlet conductor to said outlet conductor; and

(b) increasing a temperature setpoint of one or more of said plurality of heat exchangers to produce a heated flow at an intermediate temperature that is higher than a resultant temperature, said heated flow configured to be merged with said bypass flow to form the fluid supply at said resultant temperature; and

(c) disposing said modulating valve in a closed position, forcing the fluid supply through said pump and said plurality of heat exchangers such that the fluid supply remains capable of being heated to mitigate a failure of said pump,

wherein said modulating valve is disposed in a first setting to cooperate with said pump to generate a first internal circulation through at least one of said plurality of heat exchangers while supplying said total heating power in a second flow mode and said modulating valve is disposed in a second setting to cooperate with said pump to generate a second internal circulation through at least one of said plurality of heat exchangers a portion of the time outside of supplying said total heating power in said second flow mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising controlling said modulating valve and said pump to cause a recirculation flow through said auxiliary conductor and at least one of said plurality of heat exchangers in a third flow mode from said outlet conductor to said inlet conductor.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said on-demand high volume capable fluid heating system is tankless.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said on-demand high volume capable fluid heating system further comprises a user interface operably connected to said plurality of heat exchangers.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said on-demand high volume capable fluid heating system further comprises an enclosure within which said plurality of heat exchangers and said pump are located, said enclosure comprises a pallet base having fork pockets adapted to facilitate the transport of said enclosure with a forklift.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said on-demand high volume capable fluid heating system further comprises an external recirculation circuit.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said turndown ratio is at least about 33.3:1.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the total flowrate is up to about 50 Gallons Per Minute (GPM).

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of heat exchangers further comprises a top casting comprising a backflow preventer.
