An electrochemical compressor type heat pump system is described. An electrochemical compressor compresses a mixed gas refrigerant whereby heat from the compression can be used to heat an object. The electrochemical compressor is capable of producing high pressure gas from a mixed fluid system including an electrochemically-active component, such as hydrogen, and at least one refrigerant fluid, for example water. Any suitable proton associable compound, such as any suitable ionic or polar solvent compound, may be used in the mixed gas refrigerant. The electrochemical compressor may be configured in a hot water heater along with a secondary type heating source to produce a hybrid hot water heater.

1. A hot water heater comprising: a) a heating device comprising: i) an electrochemical compressor configured to elevate the temperature of a working fluid, comprising: a membrane electrode assembly comprising: an anode;a cathode;a cation exchange membrane located between the anode and cathode;a working fluid inlet coupled with the anode;a working fluid outlet coupled with the cathode:a power supply coupled with the anode and the cathode to provide electric current to the electrochemical compressor;ii) a conduit that couples the working fluid outlet to the working fluid inlet to create a closed loop system for the working fluid;iii) a condenser coupled with the working fluid outlet, andiv) an evaporator;wherein both the condenser and the evaporator are configured in the closed loop system, whereby the working fluid is transferred from the electrochemical compressor to the condenser, and from the condenser to the evaporator and wherein the device is configured as a heat pump system;wherein the working fluid is transferred from the anode to the cathode where it is condensed in the condenser thereby increasing the temperature of the working fluid,wherein the condenser is in thermal communication with the water in the hot water heater, whereby water in the hot water heater is heated by the working fluid;b) a secondary heat source this is different than the electrochemical heating device and configured to heat water within the hot water tank;c) a controller; a temperature sensor coupled with the controller and configured to measure a water temperature of said water within the hot water tank,wherein a voltage differential across the anode and cathode is controlled by the controller, andwherein the voltage across the anode and cathode is changed by the controller to change a rate of flow of the working fluid through the condenser. 2. The hot water heater of claim 1, further comprising: a) an expansion valve;b) wherein both the expansion valve and evaporator are configured in the closed loop system, whereby the working fluid is transferred from the electrochemical compressor to the condenser, and from the condenser to the evaporator through the expansion valve. 3. The hot water heater of claim 1, wherein at least a portion the condenser is configured within the hot water heater. 4. The hot water heater of claim 1, wherein a heat sink is coupled with the condenser and the heat sink is configured to transfer heat to water within the hot water heater. 5. The hot water heater of claim 1, wherein the secondary heat source is a gas heater. 6. The hot water heater of claim 1, wherein the secondary heat source is an electrical heater. 7. The hot water heater of claim 1, wherein the temperature sensor is coupled with the controller, whereby the controller regulates the amount of heat produced by the heating device and the secondary heat source as a function of the temperature of the water, as measured by the temperature sensor. 8. The hot water heater of claim 7, further comprising a water flow rate sensor configured to measure an amount of water flow from the hot water heater, wherein the water flow rate sensor is coupled with the controller, whereby the controller regulates the amount of heat produced by the heating device and the secondary heat source as a function of the water flow rate, as measured by the water flow rate sensor. 9. The hot water heater of claim 7, further comprising a water level sensor configured to measure a water level within the hot water heater, wherein the water level sensor is coupled with the controller, whereby the controller regulates the amount of heat produced by the heating device and the secondary heat source as a function of the water level, as measured by the water level sensor.
