Are there any air coolers out there which can keep the temperature down
within an enclosed space without an external air vent?

No (unless they have a water circuit which is vented in turn).

It's a piece of classical thermodynamics that you can't make a "powered
heatsink". No matter what you put in the black box, or how much energy
you feed it, you can't make heat disappear, you can only move it to
somewhere else.


Thanks for that Andy. Classical Thermodynamics? Damn, I think I was off
sick when they taught that one in school, hence why I'm posting here! :-)

I'm wondering if I could simply 'dump' the warm air into the adjacent room
(which is well ventillated) as opposed to an outside wall (which would
require metres and metres of pipes to get there)?
