The liquidus surface of the quasi-triple system LiF–NaCl–Na3FSO4 was studied by a differential-thermal method of physicochemical analysis. As a result of the studies, the crystallization temperature (554 °C) and the composition of the three-component eutectic, which can be used as a heat accumulator in thermal energy storage devices, are determined. When designing plants based on renewable energy sources, it is necessary to provide storage tanks for the concentration of thermal energy, so that the stored heat energy can be used even in the period of absence of solar radiation. The most suitable for thermal accumulation are salt eutectic mixtures. Priority in this respect is research devoted to the development of compositions as possible with large values of the latent heat of the solid-liquid phase transition. The experiment was carried out on the synchronous thermal analysis unit STA 449 F3 Phoenix, the company Netzsch, designed to operate in the temperature range from room temperature to 1500 ° C in an atmosphere of inert gases (argon). All facet triangle (LiF)2 – (NaCl)2 – Na3FSO4: stable diagonal (LiF)2 – (NaCl)2 of the triple mutual system Li, Na // F, Cl and quasibinary systems: LiF–Na3FSO4; NaCl – Na3FSO4 is of the eutectic type, therefore it can be assumed that a triple eutectic is formed in the system. To determine the thermo physical characteristics of the eutectic composition, the experiment is planned in accordance with the general rules of the projection-thermographic method. The one-dimensional polythermal section AB located in the crystallization field of lithium fluoride, where A is 50% (LiF)2+ 50% Na3FSO4, B is 50% (LiF)2+ 50% (NaCl)2 was experientally studied. The study of the AB section reveals the direction to the triple eutectic, from the poles of lithium fluoride crystallization, i.e. the study of this section revealed a constant ratio of sodium chloride and sulfate-sodium fluoride in the triple eutectic. At the point showing a constant ratio of the two initial components in the eutectic, the thermal effects of the secondary and tertiary crystallizations are combined, and the primary crystallization is fixed at 657 °C. This composition is the starting point for the investigation of the next section. The content of lithium fluoride in the eutectic is determined by studying the polythermal section of lithium fluoride from the crystallization pole and passing through the projection Ē to the side of the triangle (NaCl)2 – Na3FSO4. As a result of the studies, the crystallization temperature and the concentration of the initial salts in the triple eutectic have been established. The detected eutectic composition (EΔ) crystallizes at 554 °C and contains eq. %: (LiF)2 – 26; (NaCl)2 – 23; Na3FSO4 – 51.Forcitation:Omarova S.M., Verdieva Z.N., Alkhasov A.B., Magomedbekov U.G., Arbukhanova P.A., Verdiev N.N.
