Abstract: Taking the solar heating system in an 117.07 m2 northwest China as investigation object and the day of December 15th as an example, it is concluded that the heat loss of heat storage tank occurs mainly during the natural cooling period, the total heat loss of the heat storage tank is 9.49 MJ when its daily total heat loss coefficient is 5.68 W/℃. Then the test data of other 11 typical days is chosen to carry out the fitting of several factors of influence on total heatloss coefficient and total heat loss of the heat storage tank. It is shown that the total heat loss of the heat storage tank will be influenced by the ambient temperature and outdoor wind speed, leading to the change of the temperature of the heat storage tank. Decrease of every 1 ℃ of average ambient temperature will increase the total heat loss of heat storage tank by 0.067 MJ and the increase of every 1 m/s of outdoor wind speed will increase the total heat loss of the heat storage tank by 0.042 MJ, The increase of temperature of 1 ℃ of heat storage tank will increase the total heat loss of heat storage tank by 0.068 MJ. The increase of the temperature of 1 ℃ of heat storage tank will increas the total heat loss of the heat storage tank by 1.641 MJ. Aimed at the analysis of heat loss of heat storage tank and the present situation of indoor thermal environment, it is presented that a suggestion on indoor location of heat storage tank can be taken into consideration to enhance the heat storage capacity of heat storage tank and improve the indoor comfortableness of the building.
