That's 100% correct , you need air flow to condenser/radiator to make the ac compressor work fine.
Many reasons could lead to compressor fail , starting from small sensors till the compressor itself, we are talking about Rotary type compressor which can not hold such heat/pressure . So air flow is MUST.
