Abstract
Based on the analysis of the storage and exothermic process of the storage tank, the energy balance equation was established, and discussed the relationship between storage tank volume and storage temperature difference, as well as that between the tank volume and the max heat storage. The average temperature of the tank and the auxiliary heat added for the system of a typical architecture in Xi’an during the heating season were simulated by TRNSYS. The paper discussed the operating conditions with changing the combination of systems and storage temperature difference, and found that the heat storage time of the tank is great different from the solar radiation time. SHS prefers floor panel heating with lower temperature and the thermal collector form that can ensure storage temperature range of 15̊C. Then it gives out the recommended value of required storage tank volume for a unit area of collector.
