[TRNSYS-users] Tank loss



Hi,

      can u please tell me about the parameter 11"tank loss coefficient" of thermal storage  tank type 60 No heat (Detailed fluid storage tank vertical cylinder with uniform losses, 2 inlets and 2 outlets).

What effect it has on the heat loss from the tank.As i am optimizing coupled solar thermal collector and heat pump for domestic hot water heating.I want the heating period of the storage tank to be 4 hours meaning the hot water must be at 55 deg centigrade for 4 hours.

what effect has this parameter on the heating period of the storage tank.
