You can nevertheless use "L", "mL" etc. if you prefer as long as you introduce a custom converters. The way to achieve this may differ between Modelica tools, for Wolfram SystemModeler visit: Model Center—Variable Views.

[CONVENTION, MODELLING, NAMING]{STRICT} Webel vs SysPhS-1.1: Annex A.5: Humidifier: Where custom ValueTypes are defined, Modelica-friendly Unit symbols are used. Examples: "m3" not "m^3"; "degC" not "°C"; "J/(K.L)" (full stop as multiplier) not "J/(K⋅L)"; (EXCEPT "L" for litre not "l").
[GOTCHA, TIP, WARNING]{INFORMATIVE} Wolfram SystemModeler: GOTCHA: The conversion dialog will not offer the Add Unit Conversion button unless there is not already an existing conversion in BOTH directions.
[GOTCHA, TIP, WARNING]{INFORMATIVE} Wolfram SystemModeler: On Mac the Unit Conversions dialog is under SystemModeler -> Preferences -> Global -> Unit Conversion (rather than under Tools -> Options)
