Rocky Hyatt found this old book called Autopsy Of A Compressor, @The_hvac_doctor emailed it to me and I wanted to share this paragraph. Most pre mature compressor failures have an underlying issue or a root cause. Moisture and heat cause acid within a system, acid eats away at windings, acid can leach copper alloys that get deposited on valves. This can cause damage. A good evacuation and ensuring a system doesn't over heat is key to avoiding many issues.
