Claim:
1. A thermal energy transfer system for transferring heat energy to a first fluid from a second fluid, the system comprising: a first fluid circuit including an inlet, an outlet, and a middle portion in between, the first fluid circuit structured to allow the first fluid to flow from the first fluid circuit inlet to the first fluid circuit outlet; a second fluid circuit including an inlet, an outlet, and a middle portion in between, the second fluid circuit structured to allow the second fluid to flow from the second fluid circuit inlet to the second fluid circuit outlet; a heat exchanger wherein the middle portions of the first fluid and second fluid circuits extend and are in adjacent, thermally-conductive contact for facilitating heat transfer from the second fluid to the first fluid, the heat exchanger floodable in a determined proportion within the second fluid circuit middle portion; a second fluid circuit control valve on the second fluid circuit downstream of the heat exchanger, for controlling a second fluid flow rate of the second fluid through the second fluid circuit, where the proportion of the heat exchanger that is flooded within the second fluid circuit middle portion can be selectively calibrated; and a stabilization circuit having
