A power system for converting waste heat from exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine to electrical energy includes an aftertreatment assembly positioned within a first housing. The power system includes an evaporator assembly positioned within a second housing. The evaporator assembly is positioned directly adjacent the aftertreatment assembly. The evaporator assembly includes a first portion of a working fluid loop in thermal communication with a first length of an exhaust conduit that extends from the aftertreatment assembly into the second housing. The power system includes a power pack positioned longitudinally forward of the aftertreatment assembly. The power pack includes a tank, a condenser, a pump and an expander fluidly connected by a second portion of the working fluid loop. The second portion is fluidly connected to the first portion of the working fluid loop.
