Abstract

See full text

A condensing gas furnace having an inducer for drawing exhaust produced by a burner through an exhaust path and venting the exhaust from the furnace. A pressure sensor positioned within the exhaust path to determine if the inducer is creating a negative pressure in the exhaust path preventing accumulation of exhaust within the exhaust path. The inducer includes a supplemental sensor for monitoring rotation of a fan of the inducer. The burner is not ignited when both sensors fail to indicate proper venting of the exhaust path. The burner is operated for a predetermined period of time when only the supplemental sensor signals rotation of the fan to thaw any condensate on the supplemental sensor.
