"Solid Electrolyzer" setup (alternative to Hydra): accepts 20kg/s of Water, produces 25C Oxygen (for up to 177 dupes), -209C LOX and -258C Liquid Hydrogen

I was doing "print every duplicant" challenge and decided to do something different from usual SPOMs and Hydras.

In this setup, I froze the entire room with 20 Electrolyzers to -238C. Any produced Oxygen instantly freezes into Solid Oxygen debris, preventing any overpressure. (Production is 10.6 ton of Oxygen per cycle, which is the same as Hydra would produce)

Solid Oxygen is removed via the conveyor belt and used in 2 different ways:
1) for duplicant consumption: melted into gas by passing through Ethanol (heated by Liquid Tepidizer), and then brought into temperature range between 24.9C and 25.4C by passing through Water (heated by Tepidizer if it cools below 25C).
2) melted into LOX by passing through a room that already has -209C LOX (heated by Tepidizer when it cools below -210C)

Hydrogen (2.24 kg/s) is removed by 6 Gas Pumps, and is then routed (via a complex system of Gas Bridges for proper priority) to 4 places:
1) 2 Gas Reservoirs (one can supply 10 Hydrogen Reactors each)
2) 2 High-Pressure Gas Vents in the room that freezes Hydrogen (which is already as cold as -238C) into Liquid Hydrogen.

The setup is very energy-efficient. Even with 177 Duplicants, Hydrogen Reactors will only burn around 1.6 kg/s of Hydrogen, resulting in 640g/s of Liquid Hydrogen (much more with a smaller number of duplicants, capping at the 2kg/s, which is the limit of 2 gas pipes). If needed, it's possible to increase Liquid Hydrogen production by connecting an external reactor to the Heavy-Watt power grid of this setup.
