An apparatus for forming and sealing a duct member for use in an air handling system. At least one work station accommodates a work piece, which is generally a cylindrical tube.

A method includes: an inner pipe insertion step of inserting an inner pipe to between a cored bar and a metal movable claw; a designated section corrugated portion formation step of forming a corrugated portion in a first designated section by pressing the first designated section of the inner pipe radially inward by the metal movable claw and plastically deforming the first designated section; a movable claw moving step of moving the metal movable claw outward in the radial direction of the inner pipe; and an inner pipe moving step of moving a second designated section that is the next designated section to between the cored bar and the metal movable claw.

In a header of a heat exchanger core, a header passage includes: at least one radial passage extending along a radial direction, and a plurality of circumferential passages branched from each radial passage and communicating with one or more of the axial passages, respectively. The flow passage area of each radial passage is smaller in a second position than in a first position, where the second position is inward of the first position in the radial direction.

The present invention discloses an inner pipe for a liquid heating apparatus, including a hollow pipe body made of a metal or an alloy, where a pipe wall thickness of the pipe body is 0.3-1.0 mm; through a machining method of rolling or pressing, a spiral diversion structure is machined on an inner peripheral wall of the pipe body along an axial direction of the pipe body, so that the spiral division structure is formed to extend along the axial direction of the pipe body. The present invention further discloses a liquid heating apparatus and a manufacturing method therefor. The liquid heating apparatus includes the inner pipe and the outer pipe; a heating assembly is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the outer pipe.
