    That is just it - the air stream coming out of a supercharger is not as cool as the air going into it. Ever notice how the 80 gallon tank on the compressor in your shop can get very hot to the touch when using multiple air tools ? It is not soaking up any heat from anything - mechanically compressing air causes its temperature to increase.
