Abstract
An exhaust component includes a housing defining an internal cavity, at least one exhaust aftertreatment component positioned within the internal cavity, and a heat exchanger. The housing has an inlet configured to receive engine exhaust gases and an outlet configured to direct the engine exhaust gasses into a tailpipe. A reductant source is associated with the housing and produces ammonia to mix with engine exhaust gases entering the exhaust aftertreatment component. The heat exchanger is positioned within the internal cavity to reduce a temperature of the engine exhaust gases exiting the outlet.
