Seems unlikely to me, especially if the compressor has a holding tank. I
don't know the melting point of the 'lead-free' solder offhand, but any
lead-based solder is good to over 300F. If it's a concern, use any of the
high melting point solders (frequently called silver solder, although most
of them don't have any silver these days).
But, I'll admit I've never tried it.
