[pdf] External air is introduced into the air compressor through forced convection by a cooling fan. When the air flows through the plate-fin radiator, it carries away the heat generated by the compressor (including lubricating oil and compressed air).

It’s like a balloon being filled with too much air – eventually, it reaches its breaking point and bursts.
