Can a portable AC unit that normally vents by hose to an outside window be vented into a sealed bucket with a liquid to cool the exhaust as I have no outside window available?

Probably not, seeing as it would be difficult to cool the hot air by blowing it over water. You might be able to use the hose to cool specific areas of the room though, like a computer or yourself, but keep in mind that air conditioners put out quite a bit of heat themselves, and you'll probably end up raising the temperature a good 5-10 degrees F if you leave it on for more than half an hour or so.

Do they have hose less portable air conditioners?
Yes, they do have hoseless portable air conditioners. Traditional portable air conditioners typically come with an exhaust hose that needs to be vented outside to expel hot air. However, advancements in technology have led to the development of hoseless or "ventless" portable air conditioners. These units use innovative cooling technologies that eliminate the need for an exhaust hose. Instead of venting hot air outside, they often use alternative methods such as evaporative cooling or self-contained cooling systems. Keep in mind that while hoseless portable air conditioners offer more flexibility in terms of placement, they may have limitations in cooling capacity compared to traditional units with exhaust hoses.
Is it a problem if the exhaust hose on a home air conditioner unit feels hot?
If you're asking about a portable air conditioner, the kind that has two large hoses running to an adapter that one mounts in a window, the exhaust hose is supposed to be hot, or at least warm. That's heat that the air conditioner has absorbed from the room and is dumping outside the living space.
What is the difference between a window unit air conditioner and a portable air conditioner?
Yes, they can work very well but you have to be aware of how to position them for best cooling effect: you can't just stand a portable air conditioning unit in the middle of the room, as if it was a room heater. Always place the portable AC unit next to a window opening (or similar) so that all (100%) of the hot air from the unit gets sent outside the room you are trying to cool. If you let any of the hot air from the unit get back into the room you will just be wasting electricity. There are some tricks to get the most out of a portable AC. First, insulate the exhaust hose. Even something simply like wrapping the exhaust hose with towels, or modifying a hot water heater insulation blanket to cover the exhaust hose can yield huge improvements in the performance of the air conditioner because the exhaust hose radiates a lot of heat back into the room during normal operation. Another hint - I nearly always recommend that our customers buy a dual hose portable air conditioner because they are more efficient and typically cool better than single hose units.
