Plumbing/air mix

[Chalmers7]

Guys, need some advice

if I have s high pressure water system which runs at 20 bar which feeds a unit and a air line running at 6 bar also feeds a unit and for some reason a non return valve fails allowing the air water to mix in the water line, would this make the system still sit a 20 bar or would the properties of the two items make the pressure be 26 bar??

Thoughts??

Explain how you think 6 bar pressure is going to overcome 20 bar, regardless of the medium under pressure.

Air compresses water doesnt.
System would end up stabilised at 20 bar but full of water on the air side
