Compressor will draw more current as load on motor gets higher... could be a 
bad pressure switch...look at compressor pressure when it trips or it could 
just be a tired breaker... the key might be "worked fine for years".

I had the same problem with a tanning bed, worked fine for years then 
started tripping.  Tried cleaning the breaker contacts and reseating it a 
couple times... no change.  Finally replaced the breaker and now trouble 
free
