Depends on the condensor. Its possible the part wasn't speced to handle the load from 24/7 operation. In which case the condensor would be running very hot all the time and you might eventually burn it out.

I'd touch the condensor to see just how well its handleing the load. It should be warm, but not burning. If its hot, either get a better condensor or a better fan. The compressor itself should be pretty hot to touch normally, but if its extremely hot (90-100C), you probably need some airflow around it.
