Default Fuel cells producing *liquid* water?

For my application I need a hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell to produce the
H2O in liquid form. But in addition to the electrical energy, the
reaction releases a significant proportion of the energy as heat.
Enough heat in fact to turn the H2O released into steam. I know on
space missions they use fuel cells to produce liquid water but I assume
they use the cryogenic fuels onboard to liquify the water.
Is there a way to insure the water released is in liquid form for the
H2 and O2 at room temperature?
