http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot%27s_theorem_(thermodynamics) Carnot's theorem , developed in 1824, also called Carnot's rule is a principle that specifies limits on the maximum efficiency any heat engine can obtain, which thus solely depends on the difference between the hot and cold temperature reservoirs. Carnot's theorem states: All heat engines between two heat reservoirs are less efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same reservoirs.

Low temp compressors are the best as they have a habbit of being able to suck down nicely and tend to work at a higher pressur differance. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=493617
