   It's possible to convert dehumidifier to air conditioner but then you need   
   involve an electricians to disconnect the power first.  Because dehumidifier   
   uses both the condenser and the evaporator in its process converting into   
   air conditioner,  you have to remove the condenser at place it outside the   
   frame (the back) reverse the air flow of the fan towards the condenser.   
   Note that the condenser always produces heat therefore,  you must block   
   between the condenser and the evaporator and then grand a fridge square fan   
   to the condenser to throw the heat that emits from the condenser outside.   
      
   In doing so, you would have extend the capillary tube since you are bringing   
   the condenser outside and ensure that the capillary tubes are soldered well   
   to avoid any leakages as it may diminish the refrigerant of the condenser.   
   If you want to know more, contact me via email address

   You will be jailed for life and damned for all Eternity if you crack the   
   tubing and let the refrigerant escape.
