A dehumidifier will most certainly raise the temp in the room/tent whathaveyou.
It spits out the dried hot air from the back, it doesn't cool at all, nothing but warm air comes out of it.
Or am I confused at what you're saying? It's possible.

You're correct. A dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air, but the process can result in the release of warmer air. Here's a brief explanation:

When a dehumidifier operates, it pulls in air, removes moisture from it, and then releases the drier air. The extraction of moisture usually involves the dehumidifier's internal coils cooling the air to condense and collect the water. However, before releasing the drier air, it is often reheated to room temperature or slightly warmer.

So, in practice, a dehumidifier can have a minor warming effect on the room or space where it's being used. If cooling is a primary concern, especially in warmer environments, it might be beneficial to use the dehumidifier in conjunction with an air conditioner to maintain both a comfortable temperature and humidity level.

sealed rooms good
dehus definitely generate some heat (from the compressor and a lesser extent the fan)

these precharged ACs are a joke
air conditionning is the backbone of a sealed room
saving on it is an heresy
you just need a set of manometer, a vaccum pump, a tube cutter and dudgeon tool to install some refrigeration equipment
then you have some serious reliable system

Room temperature or slightly warmer?
If you have ever used a dehumidifier you would know it releases HOT air.
I keep a barn in Michigan heated throughout the winter nights with nothing but hot air from my dehueys.
