In my former life as a manager, I had a customer who insisted that we had
sold him a bad air compressor. I went to his house to drop off a new one,
and he showed me his outside storage shed where the compressor was housed.
He had 1/2" styrofoam insulation. The heat generated by the compressor had
no means of escape, and he burned up the compressor in short order. I'd
look elsewhere if I were you.
