When you have a heat producing compressor the general rule would be the more air flow and cooler the motor operates the better it is for improving motor life span. I've seen compressor shelters get hot enough to melt the coating on the plug wire plus who knows what else inside the motor; that is obviously why the motor failed. Excess heat build up is generally a problem for all electrical motors and probably electrical circuit boards, including the computer you are using to read this post.
