Abstract

An exhaust pipe mounted heat duct in an electrical generator includes an exhaust pipe coupleable to an internal combustion engine of the electrical generator to receive exhaust therefrom, the exhaust pipe having a first support member and a second support member extending outwards from the exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe mounted heat duct also includes a heat duct assembly comprising a first component and a second component, the first component mounted to the first support member and a second component mounted to the second support member, the first component coupled to the second component to substantially surround the exhaust pipe.
