1. An electrolyzer system, comprising:
a splitter configured to split a first air inlet stream into a bypass air stream and a second air inlet stream;
a stack of electrolyzer cells configured receive steam and the second air inlet stream and output a product stream containing hydrogen and an oxygen exhaust stream, wherein the bypass air stream is configured to bypass the stack; and
a product cooler heat exchanger configured to cool the product stream using the first air inle stream.
