AB - In order to solve the problems of high energy consumption and serious waste  of heat energy in the traditional oil cooler of Marine hydraulic system, the  waste heat recovery and reuse of Marine hydraulic oil temperature control  system is proposed. The hydraulic system waste heat recovery test platform  has been established, the influence of electrical load, oil flow rate and  working medium flow rate on system operation and energy characteristics is  studied. The experimental results show that under the same working  condition, compared with the oil cooler of the same specification, the  maximum thermal efficiency of the proposed organic Rankine cycle waste heat  recovery system is increased to 2.56%. The expander pressure ratio and  system thermal efficiency increase with the increase of electric load and  oil flow. The experimental results analyzed the energy saving effect of  waste heat recovery system on hydraulic system, and obtained the rule of  system operation efficiency.
