Segundo o diretor da Sygma, Manoel de Oliveira, a Vale Solu??es em Energia (VSE) contratou a Sygma Motors para apoi?-la no desenvolvimento de motores para a gera??o de eletricidade a partir do etanol e do g?s natural. According to director of Sygma, Manoel de Oliveira, Vale Energy Solutions (VSE) Sygma Motors hired to support it in developing engines to generate electricity from ethanol and natural gas. A VSE ea Scania, da Su?cia, tamb?m fecharam um acordo de coopera??o tecnol?gica para o desenvolvimento no Brasil desses motores. The VSE and Scania, Sweden, also closed a technological cooperation agreement for the development of these engines in Brazil. Um sistema de primeira gera??o PFI (Port Fuel Injection) foi instalado em um motor Scania e apresentado pela VSE ao Comit? Ol?mpico Internacional (COI), este ano, a pedido do presidente Luiz In?cio Lula da Silva. A system of first generation PFI (Port Fuel Injection) was installed on a Scania engine and VSE presented by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) this year at the request of President Luiz In?cio Lula da Silva.

Previsto para ser conclu?do em 2012, o projeto da Orbital e da Sygma j? absorveu 150 mil horas de engenharia e um investimento da ordem de R$ 70 milh?es. Due to be completed in 2012, the design of Orbital and Sygma has absorbed 150 thousand hours of engineering and an investment of $ 70 million. ?Trata-se de um sistema eletr?nico que ser? aplicado aos motores movido 100% a etanol, sem aditivos e com a mesma efici?ncia de um motor a diesel?, comenta Oliveira. "This is an electronic system that will apply to engines powered 100% ethanol without additives and with the same efficiency of a diesel engine," said Oliveira. ?Ao contr?rio dos motores a diesel, no Flex-DI o combust?vel ? injetado diretamente na cabe?a do cilindro e misturado com o ar, num sistema ?aerosol?, ou seja, em part?culas min?sculas, permitindo que a queima seja de 100%.? "Unlike diesel engines, the Flex-DI fuel is injected directly into the cylinder head and mixed with air in a system" aerosol ", or in tiny particles, allowing the burn is 100%."

A pulveriza??o do combust?vel no Flex-DI ? muito mais fina e, portanto, a queima ? mais eficiente. The spray of fuel in the Flex-DI is much thinner and, therefore, the burning is more efficient. A economia de combust?vel, nesse caso, segundo o presidente da Orbital, Terry Stinson, gira em torno de 10% a 15% e pode chegar a 50% em motores navais. Fuel economy, in this case, the president of Orbital, Terry Stinson, is around 10% to 15% and may reach 50% in marine engines. O projeto j? despertou o interesse de algumas montadoras no Brasil e est? sendo apresentado para as ind?strias de a??car e ?lcool. The project has received interest from some manufacturers in Brazil and is being presented to the industries of sugar and alcohol.

O diretor da AP2X Consultores e ex-presidente da Santaelisa Vale, Anselmo Lopes Rodrigues, disse que o custo de opera??o do motor 100% etanol em rela??o ao diesel ? bastante atrativo para os produtores de a??car, porque o etanol utilizado na frota das empresas n?o ter? a incid?ncia de impostos. The director of AP2X Consultants and former president of Santaelisa Valley, Anselmo Lopes Rodrigues, said the cost of operating the engine 100% ethanol with diesel fuel is very attractive to producers of sugar, because ethanol used in the fleet of companies do not have the effect of taxes. Ele estima que o pre?o de custo do litro do etanol gire em torno de R$ 0,80 eo do diesel, por volta de R$ 1,90. He estimated the cost of a liter of ethanol revolves around R $ 0.80 and diesel, around $ 1.90.

?Existe um mercado enorme para a utiliza??o desse motor na ind?stria de cana-de-a??car, algo superior a 60 mil motores, envolvendo n?o s? a frota de caminh?es e de tratores das usinas, mas tamb?m os motores estacion?rios, usados para irriga??o, as colheitadeiras e os geradores de eletricidade no campo.? "There is a huge market for using this engine in the industry of cane sugar, something over 60 thousand engines, involving not only the fleet of trucks and tractor plants, but also stationary engines, used for irrigation, the harvesters and electricity generators in the field. "

A Scania est? testando um novo motor em S?o Paulo, em dois ?nibus da prefeitura, que funcionam no ciclo diesel e usam etanol misturado com um aditivo especial. Scania is testing a new engine in Sao Paulo in two city buses that run on diesel cycle and using ethanol mixed with a special additive. O consultor t?cnico da ?nica na ?rea de meio-ambiente e tecnologia, Alfred Szwarc, disse que a experi?ncia da montadora sueca em S?o Paulo j? demonstrou que o consumo volum?trico de etanol em rela??o ao diesel chega a ser de 40% a 50% maior. The technical consultant of the Only in the area of environment and technology, Alfred Szwarc, said the experience of the Swedish automaker in Sao Paulo has shown that the consumption volume of ethanol with diesel is up to 40% to 50% higher. ?Isso mostra que precisa haver um diferencial de pre?o que compense, embora as vantagens ambientais sejam infinitamente superiores no caso do etanol.? "This shows that there must be a price to pay, although the environmental benefits are far superior in the case of ethanol."

Oliveira acredita que o programa do motor a etanol s? ser? atrativo para outros segmentos, al?m do setor sucroalcooleiro, se o governo criar incentivos para que esse combust?vel seja competitivo com o diesel em termos de custos. Oliveira believes that the engine program for ethanol will only be attractive to other segments in addition to the alcohol sector, whether the government provide incentives for fuel that is competitive with diesel cost.

O consultor da Unica disse que a entidade tem acompanhado com grande interesse a evolu??o de v?rios projetos de motores a etanol, todos ainda em fase de desenvolvimento, mas que a expectativa ? que o produto esteja no mercado num prazo de dois a tr?s anos. The consultant Unica said the organization has followed with great interest the development of various engine designs to ethanol, all still under development, but the expectation is that the product is on the market within two to three years. Al?m da Sygma Motors/Orbital e da Scania, empresas como Bosch, Delphi, Fiat Powertrain Technologies e MWM International est?o envolvidas em projetos de desenvolvimento de motores movidos a combust?veis renov?veis. In the Sygma Motors / Orbital and Scania, companies such as Bosch, Delphi, Fiat Powertrain Technologies and MWM International are involved in projects to develop engines powered by renewable fuels.

O setor sucroalcooleiro, segundo Anselmo Rodrigues, tem demonstrado bastante receptividade ao projeto de uma nova gera??o de motores desenvolvidos para rodar com 100% de etanol. The alcohol sector, according to Anselmo Rodrigues, has demonstrated quite receptive to the project of a new generation of engines designed to run on 100% ethanol. ?Na d?cada de 80, com o programa do Pro-?lcool, as usinas investiram na compra de caminh?es a ?lcool, mas o resultado da experi?ncia n?o foi bom porque os motores duravam pouco ea manuten??o era alta. "In the 80s, the program's Pro-Alcohol, plants invested in the purchase of trucks to alcohol, but the result of the experience was not good because the engines were short-lived and maintenance was high. Hoje temos um etanol com menos n?vel de corros?o e uma tecnologia mais avan?ada.? Today we have an ethanol level of less corrosion and better technology. "
