Sneak Preview 2/4 Argyle Diamond Mine

Pump appliance at manufacturers in South Australia for Argyle Diamond Mine, Western Australia. Incorporates latest IFEX system seen atop vehicle. (I have no idea what this does, I think pumps out bursts of extremely fine spray to super cool fire area)- anyone help?

You guys probably know all about this stuff, but I sure didn't, looking at their site says, "IFEX stands for Impulse Fire Extinguishing Technology.
Impulse Technology is a unique impulse water mist system, delivering (High pressure), impulse (shots), " from a variety of platforms, mobile, fixed, etc.

The impulse technology itself is protected by approximately 100 patents worldwide. It has been tested extensively by defense, fire brigades and private institutions in over 50 countries over the last 15 years.

All IFEX impulse tools - from the half liter handheld gun to the 30 liter stationary cannons - are manufactured and assembled in Germany.
