Continuous Flow Impregnation (CFi)/ Imprex sealants on the Chrysler V6 Phoenix engine
Godfrey & Wing's Continuous Flow Impregnation (CFi) is used on Chrysler's new DOHC V6 Phoenix engine.
This new family of V-6 engines will feature an aluminum die cast block, dual variable valve timing (VVT) and a two-stage oil pump, among other technologies. The end result is an expected across-the-board V-6 fuel efficiency improvement of six to eight percent - in addition to new levels of V-6 power, performance and refinement.
Godfrey & Wing's CFi fully automated vacuum impregnation was selected to seal the blocks after considering all traditional impregnation options. Given the highly machined state of the engine blocks prior to vacuum impregnation it was imperiative that the blocks employ the most robust impregnation technology available while eliminating failure modes common with vacuum impregnation. With a zero tolerance for contamination and damage, coupled with a leak specification below 2cc/min, the challenge could only be met with the advances found in the GW CFi.
In addition the CFi is fully integrated into to the machining line, affording an enormous savings in WIP and transportation.
