An integrated condensing heat exchanger and water separator includes a microporous graphite plate, one or more water passages defined at a first side of the microporous graphite plate, and one or more air passages defined at a second side of the microporous graphite plate opposite the first side. An air inlet operably is connected to the one or more air passages to direct a flow of air through the one or more air passages at a first pressure, and a water inlet is operably connected to the one or more water passages to direct a flow of water through the one or more water passages at a second pressure lower than the first pressure. The microporous graphite plate is configured such that moisture condenses from the flow of air onto the second side and is wicked through the microporous graphite plate to the one or more water passages.
