Update Info for EED Aug 16, 2010: Finnish added. Version 3.16 update · Different fonts used in EED leading to that input data could not fit into boxes for Windows 7. · Formatting problems in Excel solved. Some comma separated strings for configuration gave problems in column handling. April 14, 2010: Lithuanian added. EED now available in 24 languages! Jan 27, 2010: Basque added.
· Fixed error where garbage characters were printed from the design data editor (menu item "File/Print"). · Fixed error where characters in some languages (e.g. Serbian) were not displayed correctly. · Contains language update from July 17, 2009 (see below). July 17, 2009: Serbian (Latin+Cyrillic), Russian, Chinese, and Japanese have been added. Version 3.14 update · EED now handles unicode characters. Three new languages are added: Chinese (simplified), Russian, and Japanese. EED 3.14 contains translation for 19 languages Note that the new language text files (e.g. for German: Lang_menu_ger.txt, Lang_in_ger.txt, Lang_out_ger.txt) now are saved in UNICODE format. Files used by earlier version of EED (3.00-3.13) were saved in ANSI and cannot be used directly. If you have made any changes to our language files you need to re-open them in e.g. Notepad and save them in UNICODE format. · Fixed error message "EED is registered but ActiveX does not exists". This alert came in some cases for a user without admin rights running EED under Vista and XP. Administrator can install EED for "Current user" or "All users".
· Output results can now be opened in Excel. This will give easier access to data for mean fluid temperatures, heat extraction rate and monthly energy profile. See menu item "Export to xls-file and open it" in the output result window. · Temperature charts now uses Fahrenheit when English units is selected. · Graphics for borehole configurations (added in EED 3.11, see below) with U-shape was drawn incorrectly for N1xN2 where N2>N1. Version 3.12 update · Corrected error message that was wrong in version 3.11: "The error message “Warning: Fluid minimum temp. accuracy not met!” was sometimes shown when using F9 (solve mean fluid temp) even though simulation was ok. Version 3.11 update · Graphics added for borehole and heat exchanger, see figures below. Shank spacing may graphically be changed for U-pipes. |
|
· Thermal conductivity added for filling material in the case with coaxial heat exchanger. · Graphics added for borehole configuration, see example picture below with 16 boreholes in an L2-configuration.
· More solutions found for cases with large borehole spacings (>55 m). · A few corrected error messages.
· Smaller fix if english units is used: Some values shown in output window for Monthly energy profile were not displayed correctly (sum of "factors" and "loads") · Exporting to xls-file in optimization window: If number of rows was less than 20, an error was shown · Language files complete for English, Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish (Castilian), Swedish, Turkish Version 3.09 update · The flow rate in the borehole was calculated wrong when option "for all boreholes" was used · Maximum value for series factor now increased from 10 to 99 · If series factor is larger than number of boreholes, the flow rate in the borehole Qbh will now be the same as specified flow Q
· Support and language file for Greek added. Language files complete and corrected for English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish (Castilian), Swedish, Turkish, Portuguese, Polish and Dutch Version 3.07 update · Error in 3.06 fixed (the curves for peak heat and cool load were mixed with the basic load fluid temperature) · New files for surface temperature and heat flux (June 16, 2008) · Language files complete for English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish (Castilian), Swedish, Turkish, Portuguese, Polish and Dutch (June 16, 2008) New databases (Included in updates above) New files for surface temperature and heat flux are available. Download the zip-file and extract the files to the directory where EED is located (e.g. C:\Program Files\Blocon\EED_3) and replace the old files. Data for surface temperatures and ground heat flux now cover several locations in AUSTRIA, BELGIUM, BULGARIA, CROATIA, CZECH REPUBLIC, DENMARK, ESTONIA, FINLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY (over 60 locations), GREECE, HUNGARY, ICELAND, IRELAND, ITALY, LATVIA, LIECHTENSTEIN, LITHUANIA, LUXEMBOURG, MACEDONIA, NETHERLANDS, NORWAY, POLAND, PORTUGAL, ROMANIA, SERBIA, SLOWAKIA, SLOWENIA, SPAIN, SWEDEN, SWITZERLAND, TURKEY, and UNITED KINGDOM. Data are mainly taken from national meteorological services and from different editions of EU geothermal atlas. (Compare dates for updates above. If date for zip-file is after the update version, please download zip-file below to assess the latest languages.) The following languages are available in EED 3: · English · French · German · Hungarian (corrected characters July 3, 2008) · Italian · Spanish (Castilian) · Swedish · Turkish (corrected characters July 3, 2008)) · Portuguese (corrected characters July 3, 2008)) · Polish (corrected characters July 3, 2008)) · Dutch (added June 29, 2008) · Greek (added July 3, 2008) · Bulgarian (added July 16, 2008) · Romanian (added August 25, 2008) · Catalan (added August 25, 2008) · Czech (added February 26, 2009) · Russian (added June 8, 2009) · Chinese (added June 8, 2009) · Japanese (added June 8, 2009) · Serbian (Latin+Cyrillic) (added July 17, 2009) · Hebrew (added Dec 21, 2009) · Basque (added Jan 27, 2010) · Lithuanian (added April 14, 2010) · Vietnamese added (July 27, 2010) · Finnish added (Aug 16, 2010) · Slovene added (Oct 28, 2011)
EED_Languages.zip Help needed for translation into other languages We offer a free license of EED Multi-lingual if you make a valid translation into a new language (add a column in EED_Languages_xls.zip). If you wish to contribute, please contact us first in case of that no other is currently working on it. At the moment, we need translations made for the following languages: How to create files for a new language New language files can easily be created and edited. There are three files for the menu text, the input dialogue text, and the output text: The "***" should be replaced by the ISO 639-2 Code, see E.g. the Swedish files are named
