Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A hydraulic energy conversion and dissipation system comprises a hydraulic retarder pump driven by a source of a mechanical energy needed to be dissipated for converting the mechanical energy into a waste hydraulic energy, a hydraulic flow retarder provided for converting the waste hydraulic energy into a thermal energy, at least one heat exchanger for dissipating the thermal energy generated by the hydraulic flow retarder and at least one cooling fan provided for producing a forced air flow through the heat exchanger. The cooling fan is driven by a corresponding hydraulic motor powered by the waste hydraulic energy of the pressurized hydraulic fluid flow generated by the hydraulic retarder pump for further dissipating the waste hydraulic energy. The system further includes a hydraulic fluid reservoir in fluid communication with an inlet of the hydraulic retarder pump.
