Do Air Compressors Get Hot?

YES!

5 COMMON REASONS WHY

If you have recently bought a compressor, you probably have questions about it. For example, if your compressor gets hot, does that mean there is something wrong with it?

AIR COMPRESSORS GET HOT!

The friction that occurs when air molecules are squeezed together generate heat.

This heat can be felt at the copper line that connects these two items together, as well as in the motor, and compressor head.

5 common reasons why

Not Using the Proper Extension Cord

Low on Lube

Failing Capacitor

Poor Ventilation

1

2

Overuse

3

4

5

Air compressors get hot, and this occurrence is normal.

To keep a healthy air compressor, run it in intervals, keep it in a cool location, and be sure to use proper cords and outlets.
