Abstract
A heat transfer system for transferring heat for use onboard a vehicle includes a conductor arranged to conduct exhaust gas discharged from an engine of the vehicle along a serpentine path to generate back pressure for transmission to the engine so that heat of exhaust gas flowing along the serpentine path is maximized. The heat transfer system includes a tube arranged to conduct fluid so that heat is transferred from the exhaust gas to the fluid.
