Adiabatic compression or expansion more closely model real life when a compressor has good insulation , a large gas volume , or a short time scale -LRB- i.e. , a high power level -RRB- .

Adiabatic compression or expansion is favored by good insulation , a large gas volume , or a short time scale -LRB- i.e. , a high power level -RRB- .
