- Metal bipolar plate for fuel cell vehicles
- Metal bipolar plate is core component of the fuel cell stack along with GDL(Gas Diffusion Layer),
MEA(Membrane Electrode Assembly). Hydrogen and air, which are reaction gases, are uniformly supplied
to the active area by metal bipolar plate. Also, it functions as a current transfer and water
emissions generated by the electrochemical reaction.
Research, product development performance and success case

project)
2018. 09 : Development of large-area metal bipolar plate (National R&D project)
- Hydrogen Sensor
- This is a sensor for detecting hydrogen leaks and evaluating the safety of the vehicle. We are the
first company in Korea which has succeeded in developing the hydrogen sensor using MEMs technology
and the first to mass produce this part.
- Pressure Sensor
- This is a sensor for monitoring the operating pressure of the hydrogen pipe and fuel cell stack
entrance/exit which leads from the hydrogen storage device. It uses fuel cell system hydrogen gas,
and because it is operated in an environment of high humidity, there are still a variety of issues
to be resolved due to freezing in cold climates. SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd.’s pressure sensor being
developed and prepared for mass production with a combined-function which is safe, overcomes
climate-related problems, and measures both pressure and temperature.
- Pressure Relief Valve–H2
- This is safety equipment which is installed in order to protect the system by reacting to pressure
which has exceeded regulations during abnormal operation of the fuel cell system while driving.
SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd. has developed a pressure relief valve for optimum performance in a humid
hydrogen environment, thereby contributing to the safety of fuel cell cars.
- Water Trap
- This is a functional component to control the condensation of vapor produced in the fuel cell
stack in order to optimize the performance and reinforce the durability of hydrogen fuel cell
vehicles. At SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd., we have developed a non-contact water level sensor which
has superior responsiveness to precise detection of the water level without coming into direct
contact with the condensate. It is a highly reliable product with optimum performance in a hydrogen
gas environment, as required in micro-engineering.
- NOx Sensor
- The nitrogen oxide sensor is attached to the exhaust after-treatment device to reduce the presence
of harmful substances in automotive exhaust gas and monitor the concentration of nitrogen oxide.
- Temperature Sensor
- The temperature sensor is installed between the oxidation catalyst of the diesel particulate
filter and the catalyst filter to quickly and accurately deliver the temperature of the exhaust gas
to the electronic control unit.
- Differential Pressure Sensor
- This device measures the difference in pressure between the entrance and exit of the diesel
particulate filter and detects the amount of collected particulate inside.
- Oxygen Sensor
- This is a sensor which measures the concentration of oxygen contained in the exhaust gas to
control the engine's air-fuel ratio in order to increase the purification rate of exhaust gas and
detect abnormalities.
- Particulate Matter Sensor
- This is a particulate matter-monitoring device which is attached to the rear of the diesel
particulate filter.
- Urea-SCR System
- This is a system necessary for satisfying emissions-related environmental regulations which uses
urea as a reductant for reducing the amount of nitrogen oxide contained in exhaust gas.
- Wheel Speed Sensor
- The wheel speed sensor is attached to the wheels of the car in order to detect changes in the line
of induction and transfer this to the system. It provides key information for the safe operation of
the vehicle and it is also related with the anti-lock braking system, the speedometer, electric
power steering system, etc.
Types of wheel sensors include the active type which uses the
hall-effect principle applied to the ABS system and the passive type which detects vehicle speed
using the electromagnetic induction principle and is applied to vehicles which are not ABS-equipped.
SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd. has also launched the Smart Type which has the added function of
detecting turning direction, and recently succeeded in developing the GMR type which can measure
tire pressure in order to connect it with the indirect tire-pressure monitoring system and mass
production of this will be undertaken in the near future. The speed sensor which has come under
recent development is connected with the parking aid system and automatic parking system in order to
further increase safety and massively improve driver convenience.

Hydrogen Supply and Discharge Technology for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles
Our R&D Center is ensuring the safety of fuel cell vehicles by developing a hydrogen supply system core
module to supply, recycle and discharge hydrogen gas with a suitable pressure and flow rate to the fuel cell
stack, which contributes to performance optimized to all environments. SEJONG R&D Center is accelerating
continuous development of new technologies.
We are focusing not only on reinforcing durability, but also on ensuring low temperature ignition and
perfecting hydrogen emissions reduction technology to remove the hazard of surplus gas in preparation for
mass commercialization of future eco-friendly vehicles.

High Precision Sensor Chip Design Technology which Combines MEMs process
By securing thin-film design technology combining micro electromechanical system process technology, we have
improved low-power consumption and reaction speed which are the core performance components of the sensor.
The high-precision sensor chip design technology is an advanced technology which makes it possible to
establish foundation of mass production, increasing product price competitiveness and improving
productivity.
SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd. will not hesitate to actively invest in and supporting
research and development for the procurement of advanced technology in the domestic sensor market which
currently relies on imports.

Exhaust After-treatment to reduce Nitrogen Oxide
We are doing everything we can at SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd. to secure technology to reduce nitrogen oxide
in exhaust gas in accordance with the globally tightening regulations on emissions (Euro-6, NOx).
The urea-SCR system which injects urea (aqueous ammonia) into the exhaust system via the dosing control
unit, purifies harmful gas contained in the exhaust gas by using a redox reaction of nitrogen oxide. We are
endeavoring to promote technological development for full-scale commercialization by introducing advanced
technology to ensure improved performance and reliability of the urea-SCR system to secure our own
technology.

Technology for Electromagnetic Wave Resistance Circuit Design
As semiconductor chip technology becomes miniaturized and obtains high-speed and low-power capability, the
electromagnetic resistance of electronic devices may become lowered. Since sensors and control devices, etc.
are particularly connected with the safety of the driver, there is a need for design technology which can be
applied to external electromagnetic disturbance as well.
SEJONG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd. is preventing system malfunction caused by external electromagnetic disturbance
and possesses unrivaled design device/circuit/software design technology which doesn't damage performance or
hinder external leakage radiation of high-frequency power. We combine high-frequency external interference
waves with electromagnetic waves to prevent adverse effects on the system through noise filtering and PCB
design technology.
