Shell-less hollow fiber gas permeators are disclosed wherein the hollow fibers are arranged in a bundle of parallel fibers embedded in a tube sheet at both ends. The tube sheets are fitted with caps to provide a pressure chamber which have ports for fluid communication.

A plurality of the permeators are arranged in an array within an enclosure with ends in a common plane and the ends are in fluid communication with each other. The enclosure is provided with a vent and in a preferred aspect air is drawn over the permeators. 5664
