Claim:
1. An electrochemical system comprising: an electrochemical compressor connected to an electrical energy source and through which a working fluid that includes a component that primarily acts as an electrochemically-active component flows, and comprising: a sealed rigid vessel in which the electrochemical compressor is housed comprising: an inlet conduit that extends from an exterior of the sealed rigid vessel through the inlet opening to the inlet of the electrochemical compressor for passing said working fluid from outside of the sealed rigid vessel, through said input opening and directly into the electrochemical compressor inlet; and an outlet conduit that extends from an exterior of the sealed rigid vessel through the outlet opening to the outlet of the electrochemical compressor for passing said working fluid at said second pressure from the electrochemical compressor outlet out of the vessel; wherein the inlet and the outlet conduit are in fluid communication to create a closed loop for the flow of the working fluid from the outlet of the electrochemical compressor to the inlet of the electrochemical compressor; a leakage flow conduit comprising:
