Is there a problem of heat absorption in the variable temperature plate

Why does a 125°C aluminum heat transfer plate and a 20°C aluminum metal block reach a thermal equilibrium at 90.7°C after heat exchange? According to calculations, the thermal equilibrium should be 113.3°C. Where did the missing heat go? Is it a display issue in the game or something else? I hope you can provide an explanation. Thank you.

Buildings (including temp shift plates) have a hidden 1/5 multiplier on their effective thermal mass. The equilibrium point for a 20C aluminum metal tile with a 125C tempshift plate would be (125*160+20*100)/260, or 84.6C

Thank you! Indeed, as you mentioned, I found that the issue occurs when placing these two buildings with different temperatures simultaneously in debug mode, resulting in a thermal equilibrium of 90.7℃. It doesn't affect normal gaming experience, but it made me waste half a day testing the thermal conductivity formula for the tempshift plate:(.
