Thermo aquatuner baypassing liquid pockets.

The aquatuner doesn't work correctly if the packets are one on, one off. The sensor turns it on and off and it skips the packet it was supposed to cool. It's probably a bug but the aquatuner built like that with a sensor just before its input, works correctly only when there is continues flow of one kind of liquid

That's true, but I have a few notes:

1. I did some tests and it seems to work as you said but the sensor says its active even if there isn't any liquid pocket in the pipe.

What's more, when I remove liquid from the measured pipe, the aquatuner skips some pockets but not all. 

2.When I deconstructed liquid shut off (main post 1st pic) it started working correctly even if there wasn't continuous flow. 

Anyway, it's very weird behavior  and I spent 2 hours trying to fix it xD

Pipe sensors only work correctly if there is something to measure, otherwise they stay in their last measured value. Also, pipe sensor doesn't work correctly at the output or input of bridges because bridges "teleport" elements from one side to the other.

Aquatuner doesn't like the one on, one off packets passing the sensor. It probably turns off too soon so the moment the first packet reaches it, it's already turned off so it bypasses the aquatuner. I'm not sure if this behaviour can be fixed in coding but you can make it not happen by making sure there is no sequence on-off in liquid packets reaching the aquatuner that flicker the sensor on-off.

I'm glad you found a fix for it!

I once watched pipes flow for 4-5 hours in order to find where exactly was liquid deleted (that bug is still at loose but probably less common after optimizations)

The more you know, the less dupes will be injured though extreme heat xD

Imo it's unclear because of notification and animation(it's probably burnt out my fuel, even if it's not doing anything) . I have noticed this in time, otherwise my colony might be dead :/

Thanks for advices <3
