It's an pneumatic valve operator; The big, round part at the top (where the tubing is connected) has a diaphragm inside. Compressed air pressure from a controller pushes on either side of the diaphragm, which moves the stem (silver thing at the bottom of the pic) up & down, opening and closing a valve in the piping below it. Probably regulates steam, I'd say.
I love these industrial galleries, Motts!!

For some reason this photo remines me of that robot I grew up watching as a kid. I think his name was Johnny 5. All the these wires and stuff look like a face.
