Vince asked:

I would like to use a window air conditioner to cool my cellar. My cellar doesn’t have a window. I would place the unit on a table and run a drain hose to the floor drain. Will the unit work properly with the back side of the unit inside the room, not in the fresh outside air?

      The heat exchanger would be discharging in the heat exchanger would be discharging in the heat exchanger would be defeating your purpose as the heat exchanger would be defeating your purpose.

      The back side would have to go outside, otherwise it would just be acting as a dehumidifier, It would also probably raise the temperature in your cellar. On the inside, the heat exchanger removes heat from the air and transports it to the outside heat exchanger. On the outside, you have all of the heat you removed from the inside, plus the heat generated by the fan motor, plus the heat generated by the compressor motor.
