Air conditioning systems are the systems that can control humidity, temperature and air quality of the air in order to obtain the desired comfort conditions under summer and winter conditions. The usage of solid desiccant wheel to remove the moisture from the air is becoming more common in air conditioning systems and recently in drying systems. For this reason, most researchers have carried out different studies on the design, modeling and optimization of solid desiccant wheels. In the desiccant wheels, it is very difficult to model the process mathematically because heat and mass transfer realize simultaneously. Jurinak [8] developed a simple model to overcome this difficulty and this model is used by many researchers. However, this model has a structure that can be used for limited working conditions (especially high air flow rate). In this study, based on Jurinak's model, a model was developed for a solid desiccant wheel which can be used under different working conditions in applications where low air flow rate is required. The results of the model have been tested by comparing with the manufacturer data. At the end of the study, it is found that the results obtained from the developed model were in good agreement with the manufacturer's data and the model was suitable for using at different working conditions.
