An air conditioning unit, which can be located in an enclosed environment comprising at least one duct through which a heat transfer fluid flows. The duct is affected sequentially by at least one compressor, for raising the temperature and pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the gaseous state, at least one condenser, for carrying off heat from the heat transfer fluid and its passage from the gaseous state to the liquid state, at least one lamination element, for lowering the pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the liquid state, and at least one evaporator, for absorbing heat by means of the passage of the heat transfer fluid from the liquid state to the gaseous state. The air conditioning unit comprises elements of natural, not forced, collection and conveyance, toward the condenser, of condensed water which may have formed along the outer surfaces of the evaporator.

1. An air conditioning unit, which can be arranged in an enclosed environment in order to modify a temperature level, and a relative humidity, comprising at least one duct through which a heat transfer fluid flows, affected sequentially by at least one compressor, for raising the temperature and pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the gaseous state, by at least one condenser, for carrying off heat from the heat transfer fluid and its passage from the gaseous state to the liquid state, by at least one lamination element, for lowering the pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the liquid state, and by at least one evaporator, for absorbing heat by means of the passage of the heat transfer fluid from the liquid state to the gaseous state, further comprising means of natural, not forced, collection and conveyance, toward said condenser, of condensed water which may have formed along the outer surfaces of said evaporator, for the evaporation thereof by means of the heat carried off from the heat transfer fluid. 2. The unit according to claim 1, wherein said means of natural, not forced, collection comprise at least one tank, arranged below said evaporator, for the collection of the condensed water, and a layer of highly capillar material, partially accommodated in said tank, for the impregnation thereof with the condensed water collected in said tank, at least one end lip of said layer touching said condenser, for the natural conveyance, by capillary action, of the condensed water toward said condenser and the evaporation thereof by means of the heat carried off from the heat transfer fluid. 3. The unit according to claim 2, wherein said layer is made of a material of the type of a sponge. 4. The unit according to claim 2, further comprising a first fan, facing toward said condenser, for the forced circulation of a first fluid to be heated by way of said condenser, said means of natural, not forced, collection comprising a receptacle, arranged substantially below said condenser and facing toward said first fan, placed in connection with said evaporator for the collection of the condensed water, the rotation of said first fan driving the water collected in said receptacle against said condenser, for the evaporation thereof. 5. The unit according to claim 4, wherein said means of natural, not forced, collection comprise said tank and said receptacle, for the collection of the condensed water in said tank and a first transport thereof by capillary action, by way of said layer, to said condenser, the water that is not evaporated being collected in said receptacle for a second transport to said condenser, by way of said first fan. 6. The unit according to claim 1, further comprising an outer covering casing, along said casing at least one entry port and a pair of air exit ports being defined, facing toward and proximate to said evaporator, respectively for the entry and evacuation of a second fluid to be cooled at the passage of the heat transfer fluid from the liquid state to the gaseous state, and a pair of entrances, facing toward and proximate to said condenser, for the entry and exit of the first fluid to be heated, at the passage of the heat transfer fluid from the gaseous state to the liquid state. 7. The unit according to claim 6, further comprising a second fan, accommodated within said casing and substantially interposed between said entry port and said pair of air exit ports, for the forced circulation of the second fluid to be cooled by way of said evaporator. 8. The unit according to claim 6, further comprising a pair of tubes, each one of said tubes leading, with a corresponding first free end, outside the enclosed environment, on the opposite side said tubes being selectively associable with one of said pair of air exit ports and said pair of entrances, for the expulsion respectively of the second fluid or of the first fluid to the outside of the enclosed environment, and the corresponding heating or cooling of the enclosed environment. 9. The unit according to claim 8, further comprising an interface plate, associable with an edge of an opening provided along a wall delimiting the enclosed environment, for the closure thereof, said free ends of said tubes being fixed to respective slots of matching shape provided along said plate. 10. The unit according to claim 9, further comprising a device for removably attaching said plate to the edge of the opening. 11. The unit according to claim 10, wherein said attachment device comprises at least one strip of VELCRO®, arranged along a preferably perimetric portion of one face of said plate, and anchorable to a corresponding surface region of the edge of the opening. 12. The unit according to claim 9, wherein said plate is made of a transparent material, preferably selected from methacrylate and polycarbonate. 13. A portable air conditioning unit, which can be arranged in an enclosed environment in order to modify a temperature level, and a relative humidity, comprising at least one duct through which a heat transfer fluid flows, affected sequentially by at least one compressor, for raising the temperature and pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the gaseous state, by at least one condenser, for carrying off heat from the heat transfer fluid and its passage from the gaseous state to the liquid state, by at least one lamination element, for lowering the pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the liquid state, and by at least one evaporator, for absorbing heat by means of the passage of the heat transfer fluid from the liquid state to the gaseous state, further comprising means of natural, not forced, collection and conveyance, toward said condenser, of condensed water which may have formed along the outer surfaces of said evaporator, for the evaporation thereof by means of the heat carried off from the heat transfer fluid. 14. The portable unit according to claim 13, further comprising an outer covering casing, provided with a pair of mutually opposite receptacles, for the accommodation of respective handles for transport by a user. 15. An air conditioning unit, which can be arranged in an enclosed environment of the type of a compartment, cabin, or internal space of a motor vehicle, of a vessel, in order to modify a temperature level, and a relative humidity, comprising at least one duct through which a heat transfer fluid flows, affected sequentially by at least one compressor, for raising the temperature and pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the gaseous state, by at least one condenser, for carrying off heat from the heat transfer fluid and its passage from the gaseous state to the liquid state, by at least one lamination element, for lowering the pressure of the heat transfer fluid in the liquid state, and by at least one evaporator, for absorbing heat by means of the passage of the heat transfer fluid from the liquid state to the gaseous state, further comprising means of natural, not forced, collection and conveyance, toward said condenser, of condensed water which may have formed along the outer surfaces of said evaporator, for the evaporation thereof by means of the heat carried off from the heat transfer fluid. 16. The unit according to claim 15, further comprising an interface plate, having a shape and size adapted to a juxtaposition thereof to an opening of the type of a window of the motor vehicle, of a porthole or of a hatchway of the vessel, for the closure thereof, said plate being provided with respective slots that can be fixed to the free end of a pair of tubes, on the opposite side said tubes being selectively associable with either said condenser or said evaporator, and the corresponding cooling or heating of the enclosed environment.
