The diode you are referring to is often called a free wheeling diode or flyback diode it is used to prevent spikes in a circuit. IMO the electrical device in question is most likely an elector-magnet that reacts poorly to large spikes of voltage thus needing the protection of said diode. See wiki pedia fly bake diode for explanation.
