Medical liquid oxygen base units are low pressure storage containers designed to safely store more oxygen than gas cylinders can. The temperature of liquid oxygen is -183Â°C and can cause painful âcoldâ burns if it should ever come into contact with your skin.edical liquid oxygen is stored in an insulated stainless steel container that works in a similar way to a thermos flask. These storage containers are referred to as base units and they hold the medical liquid oxygen at an extremely low temperature.
Liquid hydrogen or slush hydrogen may be used, as in the Space Shuttle. However liquid hydrogen requires cryogenic storage and boils around 20.268 K (â252.882 Â°C or â423.188 Â°F). Hence, its liquefaction imposes a large energy loss (as energy is needed to cool it down to that temperature).
