what makes a hemi engine a hemi
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
A Hemi engine, also known as a HEMI, is distinguished by a unique design where the top of the combustion chamber is hemispherical. The term "Hemi" itself is short for hemispherical. This design allows for an efficient, more direct path for the air-fuel mix to enter and exit the combustion chamber, resulting in more power and torque than other types of engines. The valves in a Hemi engine are also placed to the side rather than in line with the cylinder, allowing for larger valves and better airflow. Another characteristic of the Hemi engine is the use of a single, centrally located spark plug for more efficient fuel combustion.
