Could be about anything that causes overheating.

Sometimes, jerry rigged outfits are just
prone to heating. If this is a common problem among those compressors and you still need to work it hard, one solution might be to get a device that sprays water onto the radiator for extra cooling when the compressor is under heavy load.

Upgrading the cooling system might be in order too. I had a heating problem I couldn't solve despite having the radiator rodded out and given a good bill of health. Finally, after trying everything I could think of, I bought a new radiator and it solved the problem.
