I'm not sure what it did, but Compounds had something called an Interceptor valve. Some could be run simple for starting, maybe that's what it was for??? <br /> <br />Triple expansion steam engines were very common in marine use so you may find a lot more technical information by seraching the web for them. Titanic had 2 of them and the left-over steam had enough pressure left to drive a steam turbine. Most WWII era freighters also used triple expansion steam engines.
