The term "dry cell" is relative, it is actually filled with a distilled water and KOH mixture that makes up the electrolyte from which the hydrogen and oxygen are electrochemically extracted.

Typically dry cells are sealed up quite well with gaskets and clamping pressure from bolts & nuts that hold the entire structure together. The bubble lift and thermosiphon effects from the operation of the of the unit continually carry heat away from it. A well designed electrolyzer operated within proper parameters will not overheat. If you have not already, I would recommend you peruse several HHO videos on Youtube and look closely at the construction. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
