Hydrogen cooling too much [SOLVED]

[Sola]

Is there a way to prevent hydrogen from cooling too much? I set the valve as low as 100g/s but the hydrogen still eventually cools to freezing.

Edit:
Used a filter to bypass the cooler when it was at temp.

No, current way is cool it to near it's condensation point, then create a bypass through the cooler till it warms back to a point where u will need it again. The deconstruct the bypass and rebuild the reg route.

Just use a thermal switch. Use two pumps, one through the cooler, the other to where you need the cool gas. When the hydrogen gets too cold, the switch will turn both the pump and the cooler off, and a second switch will turn the bypass pump on.

Thank you, will try this.

Could you describe this a little more? I'm trying to picture it.
Thank you

Yours will req too much pwr while mine cost 1 pump and 1 cooler at most. Since the hydrogen cycles back to the cooler for mine, once it is near its liquid state, u create a small pipe that completely bypass the cooler so it continues cycling the pipe sys repeatly while slowly heating up. Once it reach a temp where u want to cool it down again, turn on the cooler and disconstruct the bypass so it goes back into the cooler. This sys works best in a compress hydrogen rm. Just create a smaller rm inside it with worts and insulated tiles to cool the cooler. The larger the better. That way u have an exhaust for the hydrogen when u need to expand it.
Just make 4 fast airlock doors to it so hydrogen wont escape if ur dupes need to make modifications.

Here's a screenshot.

The left switch controls the cooling pump. It will recirculate into the room until the switch is cool enough from the cold hydrogen in the room. The right switch is set a little bit higher and pumps the hydrogen out when I want to use it. If I don't want to pump the hydrogen I just turn that switch down below the room temp. If I have too much hydrogen I also have a bypass off of the left that goes to a hydrogen generator to use exces hydrogen. As this system works, you really only use power to cool the hydrogen when you need to, and only as cold as you want it. And you don't ever need dupes to go run and adjust things, as thermal switches and gas filters you can control just by clicking on them. Easy to manage, and straightforward.

You can do some things with wheezeworts for natural cooling, but it is harder to regulate them. If I was using lava to clean polluted water I would use wheezeworts instead.
