Are you suggesting that the compressor can auto ignite the oil in an a/c system ? or the gas, should you be using propane?
I think you ought to read this :
Fuels and Chemicals - Auto Ignition Temperatures
These temperatures listed only exist inside a diesel engine and to start most diesels it is often only with the aid of glow plugs...ie: An ignition point.
I doubt any refrigerant pump can run at these temps'....and where would the ignition point be ?
The 'hole in the ground' sounds spurious.
