Control valve and power generation system including the same

A power generation system comprising:

• an evaporator to produce vapor by receiving thermal energy and evaporating condensate water;
• a turbine to generate power for generating electricity by passing the produced vapor through the turbine;
• a condenser to condense the vapor having passed through the turbine;
• a pump to supply the evaporator with condensate water produced by the condenser;
• and
• a control valve including:
• a main body encasing a vapor channel configured to supply pressurized vapor from an evaporator to a turbine;
• an control unit, disposed in the vapor channel of the main body toward a cover of the control valve, for controlling an amount of vapor supplied to the turbine;
• and
• a load distributor, disposed between the control unit and the main body, for sealing the main body and for distributing to the main body a load applied to the control unit by the pressurized vapor in the vapor channel, the load distributor including a load distribution assembly fitted to an inner side of the main body, and a load return assembly disposed between the control unit and the load distribution assembly,
• wherein the load distribution assembly includes:
• a first distribution member (1311) that is fitted to the main body and includes a top surface disposed toward the cover and a bottom surface disposed opposite the top surface;
• and
• a second distribution member (1312) disposed between the bottom surface of the first distribution member and an upper surface of the control unit that faces the cover.
