abyssalite on conveyor rails not cooling

Abyssalite doesn't change temperature if you dig it up. If it is a natural tile it acts a little differently but not as debris

Ah! Does it mean it won't exchange heat with the surroudings?

If you dig it up it won't exchange heat. If it is a tile it will exchange (and probably boil some oil or heat up surrounding tiles). 

 

Edit: I usually dug up the 1000+ degrees abyssalite at the bottom of the map and exchange it for igneous insulated tiles (build instead of the abyssalite natural tile) to prevent the heat up of barren biome to 70-90+ C. I stored the abyssalite debris in storages bins without any heat leaking.

Now, after several worldgen changes, it is less frequently needed for starting asteroid (cooler abyssalite is generated on top of a boiling one) but it can mess up cooling loops if you sweep everything to try cooling it down on conveyor rails.
