Abstract
A compact cogeneration system in which a catalytic converter is positioned within otherwise unused space in an exhaust gas heat exchanger employed to heat water. Exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine of a packaged cogeneration system are directed through a single- or two-stage catalytic converter in a central cylindrical housing of the heat exchanger, then are diverted to pass in counterflow over a water-containing coil in an annulus surrounding the housing.
