A furnace control system for controlling a gas-fired induced-draft furnace having a variable speed inducer blower. A control apparatus, responsive to a signal corresponding to the magnitude of a pressure difference between an inlet and outlet of the combustion chamber, controls blower motor speed to maintain the pressure difference at a predetermined magnitude corresponding to a selected gas flow rate. Inducer blower motor speed is varied directly and precisely to maintain an optimal pressure drop across the combustion chamber. The control system can be used in multi-stage and modulating furnace systems and in furnace systems utilizing pressure-assist modulating gas valves.

What is claimed is: 1. A furnace control system for controlling a gas-fired induced-draft furnace having a variable speed motor-driven blower that draws combustion air through a combustion chamber, the system comprising: a control apparatus configured to select a flow rate of gas through a gas valve to the combustion chamber; and a pressure sensing apparatus configured to: sense a first pressure difference between an inlet and outlet of the combustion chamber; generate a first signal corresponding to a magnitude of the first pressure difference; sense a second pressure difference between an outlet pressure of the blower and a pressure between the blower motor and the gas valve; and generate a second signal based on the second pressure difference; the control apparatus further configured to interrupt gas flow based on the first or second signal. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the control apparatus is further configured to, responsive to the first signal, control speed of the blower motor to maintain the first pressure difference at a predetermined magnitude corresponding to the selected gas flow rate. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first signal generated by the pressure sensing apparatus comprises an analog signal. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the control apparatus is further configured to send an electrical signal to an electronically modulated gas valve. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the control apparatus is further configured to control speed of the blower motor via a speed control signal to the blower motor, and to send a pressure signal to the gas valve through which the gas flow varies linearly relative to the speed control signal. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the control apparatus comprises a blower motor-driven pump, the control apparatus further configured to send the pressure signal via the pump. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the control apparatus is further configured to determine whether the gas valve is electronically modulated or pressure-modulated. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the first pressure difference magnitude is compared to a predetermined pressure magnitude and the predetermined pressure magnitude and the selected gas flow rate correspond to a heating stage of the furnace. 9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a blower motor-driven pump that generates a pressure signal for modulating the flow of gas through the gas valve to the combustion chamber; the pressure sensing apparatus comprising a differential pressure switch configured to monitor the second pressure difference between pressure output by the blower and the pressure signal generated by the pump. 10. A method for controlling a gas furnace having a burner box, a gas valve through which the flow of gas to the burner box is controlled, and a motor-driven blower for pulling combustion air through the burner box, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether the gas valve is electronically or pressure-modulated, said step performed by a control apparatus; sensing the magnitude of a differential pressure between an inlet and outlet of the burner box, said step performed using a pressure sensing apparatus; and based on the determining step, adjusting the blower motor speed and modulating the gas valve to maintain the differential pressure at a predetermined magnitude, said step performed using the sensed differential pressure magnitude and the control apparatus. 11. The method of claim 10 wherein the adjusting step comprises the steps of: comparing the sensed differential pressure magnitude to the predetermined magnitude; and varying a signal to the blower motor until the sensed differential pressure magnitude equals the predetermined magnitude. 12. The method of claim 10 wherein the predetermined magnitude corresponds to a selected flow rate of gas to the burner box. 13. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of varying a gas flow rate responsive to a rate of change of return air temperature. 14. The method of claim 10 wherein the pressure sensing apparatus includes a pressure sensing device having two pressure sides separated by a diaphragm, the sensing step comprising the step of: establishing a flow through the pressure sensing apparatus that imparts a negative pressure to one of the pressure sides, said step performed using a "T" fitting. 15. A furnace control system for controlling a gas-fired induced-draft furnace having a variable speed motor-driven blower that draws combustion air through an inlet and outlet of a combustion chamber, the system comprising: a control apparatus configured to select a flow rate of gas through a gas valve to the combustion chamber; a sensor having first and second sides separated by a diaphragm; and a hollow "T" fitting having first and second endings pneumatically connecting the inlet with the outlet and a third end pneumatically connecting the first and second endings with the first side of the sensor; the sensor having the second side open to ambient pressure such that the sensor senses a pressure difference between the ambient pressure and a pressure in the second side and generates a signal indicating a magnitude of the pressure difference; wherein the control apparatus is further configured to, responsive to the pressure difference magnitude signal, control speed of the blower motor to maintain a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet at a predetermined magnitude corresponding to the selected gas flow rate. 16. A method for controlling a gas furnace having a burner box, a pressure-modulated gas valve through which the flow of gas to the burner box is controlled, and a motor-driven blower for pulling combustion air through the burner box, said method comprising the steps of: selecting a flow rate of gas through the gas valve to the burner box; sensing a first pressure difference between an inlet and outlet of the burner box; generating a first signal corresponding to a magnitude of the first pressure difference; sensing a second pressure difference between a pressure in an outlet of the blower and a pressure generated by the blower motor and delivered to the gas valve; generating a second signal based on the second pressure difference; and interrupting gas flow to the burner box based on at least one of the first and second signals.
