They are called dehumidifiers.

Why remove the humidity and leave the heat?  Doesn't sound very bright.

There are situations where removing the heat either isn't desirable, because it would make the space too cold, or is inconvenient, because there's nowhere to vent the hot exhaust air from a portable A/C.  Dehumidifiers are also usually a bit cheaper to run.  Unlike an A/C unit, they don't have to push the heat "uphill" against a temperature gradient.
