Previous works have clearly shown the existence of winds from black hole hotaccretion flow and investigated their detailed properties. In extremely lowaccretion rate systems, the collisional mean-free path of electrons is largecompared with the length-scale of the system, thus thermal conduction isdynamically important. When the magnetic field is present, the thermalconduction is anisotropic and energy transport is along magnetic field lines.In this paper, we study the effects of anisotropic thermal conduction on thewind production in hot accretion flows by performing two-dimensionalmagnetohydrodynamic simulations. We find that thermal conduction has onlymoderate effects on the mass flux of wind. But the energy flux of wind can beincreased by a factor of $\sim 10$ due to the increase of wind velocity whenthermal conduction is included. The increase of wind velocity is because of theincrease of driving forces (e.g. gas pressure gradient force and centrifugalforce) when thermal conduction is included. This result demonstrates thatthermal conduction plays an important role in determining the properties ofwind.
