heat pipes have no energy source (neither in data.raw or prototype explorer) but it still returns the temperature, which does not match the description.

Thanks for the note, I've added more information on entities with heat buffers to the docs for the next release.
I'm an admin over at https://wiki.factorio.com. Feel free to contact me if there's anything wrong (or right) with it.
