Air conditioners generate a lot of heat, so normally it would be counterproductive not to vent them. However, dehumidifiers are basically air conditioners that are not vented. Although they force water out of the air by cooling it, I learned from personal experience that they (or at least the model I had) heat an area more than they cool it.
To properly vent a portable air conditioner, you need to use the included exhaust hose to vent hot air outside through a window or a vent. This helps the air conditioner work efficiently and keeps your room cool.
The purpose of the exhaust hose for a portable air conditioner is to vent hot air outside of the room being cooled. This helps the air conditioner operate efficiently by removing the heat generated during the cooling process.

Portable air conditioners come with a vent hose that can be placed in a nearby window or vented through a hole in the wall like your clothes dryer.
The best installation option for a portable air conditioner with a wall vent is to use a window installation kit. This kit allows you to vent the hot air from the air conditioner through the wall vent, ensuring proper ventilation and efficient cooling. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation to ensure optimal performance.
