I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that the museums compressor might get inspected at 6 monthly intervals. The reciever could be 150L.

The 250 Bar/liter limit is not to do with how long it takes to empty, it's an energy limit. Less energy means less damage if it fails. Steam has no lower limit becaue of the additional heat energy and the possibility of superheated water being present which releases even more energy as it boils when the pressure is released. Google BLEVE (boling liquid expanding vapour explosion)
