Can Hatches Freeze to death?

Liquid CO2 drowns them though, if you're planning what I think you are :)

Close. I'm thinking of making a freezing cold room for hatches and polluted water. The theory is to freeze the polluted water into polluted ice, have the hatches eat that. Then take the super-cold coal to storage near my coal generator to help a bit with the heat.

It is probably easier to use regular ice, which completely avoid any chance of the hatches freezing. 

Make two rooms.

Vacuum one room, put a storage and hatches in the room.  Be sure you have diagonal access to that storage and set it to sweep only for ice.

The second room is where you make ice.  Build this however you like.  Sweep the ice made in this room.  Once the designated storage is full, empty it to feed your hatches.

If you have issues with heat from your generator, just pour liquid on it.  Once the liquid is hot, turn it into ice in the ice room.  I personally use polluted water as coolant as there are several convenient and beneficial ways of getting rid of it.
