The present technology is directed to multi-frequency controllers for inductive heating and associated systems and methods. The systems can be configured to precisely heat a module via a coil to a target temperature using oscillating, pulsed electrical signals associated with unique frequencies and/or capacitance values. Each unique frequency can correspond to heating the module to a particular depth, relative to an outer surface of the module. A first pulsed electrical signal having a first frequency can heat the module to a first depth, and a second pulsed electrical signal having a second frequency can heat the module to a second depth different than the first depth. The system can include a thermal sensor for measuring a temperature associated with at least one of the module or a fluid associated with the module. Based on the temperature, the system can adjust signal delivery parameters of the first and/or second electrical signals.

A fluid tank comprising can include an outer housing comprising a housing volume, a first fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume, and a second fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume. The first fluid bladder can comprise a first conduit and the second fluid bladder can comprise a second conduit. The first fluid bladder can be configured to release fluid through the first conduit in response to introduction of fluid into the second fluid bladder via the second conduit. The housing volume can be maintained at a substantially constant pressure when fluid is released from the first fluid bladder through the first conduit and fluid is introduced into the second fluid bladder through the second conduit.
