Over heating can with some compressors be a problem but once again Porter Cable have overcome this problem on the C3151 with a specially designed cooling system. It has a fan which blows large amounts of air through a vent hole. Thus even when the compressor is working to its absolute max. this cooling system will protect against over heating.
One note of caution however, it is essential that you ensure that there are no obstructions which may block the ventilation points around the compressor, reducing the cooling air flow. For maximum performance make sure that the compressor is placed no closer than 12 inches to walls or any other possible obstructions.
The Porter Cable C3151 air compressor is typical of any Porter Cable product in its quality, durability and dependability.
