Abstract: We investigate the phase diagram of a three-component system of particles on a one-dimensional filled lattice, or equivalently of a one-dimensional three-state Potts model, with reflection asymmetric mean field interactions. The three types of particles are designated as $A$, $B$, and $C$. The system is described by a grand canonical ensemble with temperature $T$ and chemical potentials $Tlambd{a}_A$, $Tlambd{a}_B$, and $Tlambd{a}_C$. We find that for $lambd{a}_A=lambd{a}_B=lambd{a}_C$ the system undergoes a phase transition from a uniform density to a continuum of phases at a critical temperature $hat{T}_c=(2pi/sqrt3{)}^{-1}$. For other values of the chemical potentials the system has a unique equilibrium state. As is the case for the canonical ensemble for this $ABC$ model, the grand canonical ensemble is the stationary measure satisfying detailed balance for a natural dynamics. We note that $hat{T}_c=3T_c$, where $T_c$ is the critical temperature for a similar transition in the canonical ensemble at fixed equal densities $r_A=r_B=r_C=1/3$.
