Is it possible to vent a Window air conditioner into the attic?

The discharge air can go into a attic... The real question should be where is the condensate going to go? Basically the setup is like this. I want to place a window air conditioner through or in a wall that on the other side of the wall is a attic that is over my garage that has no heating or a/c it does have both soffit and a gable vent. The condensation will be collected in a galvanized drip pan and PVC piped over to and out through the soffit. How does that sound to you? This should work. I think your high pressure will run a bit higher which in turn may be a bit more expensive to run. This should be a fairly inexpensive solution for you. Good luck!

Not necessarily. The free standing air conditioner can be as far from the window (or duct) as the hoses allow. It is true that, you can not be much farther than a few yards. Otherwise you get heat losses in the vent hoses.

No. Air conditioners should not be vented into a closed garage (even if there is an open window). Heat buildup poses increased risk for fires.
Is a dryer vented to the attic unsafe?
Yes! Venting your dryer to the attic is a bad idea. The dryer vent carries all the wet, humid air from the clothes dryer, along with the fine lint and dust particles that made it past the dryer's lint filter.If the dryer vents to the attic, the attic will get coated over time with the lint, and the increased humidity from the wet air venting into the enclosed space makes ripe conditions for some serious mold growth.If there is no external wall near the dryer where you can vent it directly to the outdoors, extend the dryer vent through the attic to an external attic vent, so that it can vent to the outdoors.

No. In so doing you have reduced to nearly zero its cooling capability.
