A method for controlling furnace pressure of a continuous annealing furnace is disclosed. The method comprises detecting a coal gas flow volume and an air flow volume in each section by use of a coal gas flow volume detector and an air flow volume detector disposed in each section of a continuous annealing furnace, respectively, adding up the coal gas flow volume detected in each section to obtain a total input coal gas flow volume; adding up the air flow volume detected in each section to obtain a total input air flow volume, and calculating a pre-combustion gas pressure in the furnace based on the total input coal gas flow volume and the total input air flow volume; detecting compositions of the coal gas and a ratio of the coal gas to the air by use of a composition detector; detecting a pre-combustion gas temperature in the furnace by use of a thermocouple; predicting post-combustion gas compositions and a total gas volume based on chemical combustion reaction equations and based on the total input coal gas flow volume, the total input air flow volume, the coal gas compositions and the ratio of the coal gas to the air; igniting the coal gas and the air in the furnace; and detecting a post-combustion gas temperature in the furnace by use of a thermocouple; calculating a post-combustion gas pressure in the furnace based on the pre-combustion gas pressure in the furnace, pre-combustion gas temperature in the furnace and the post-combustion gas temperature in the furnace; and calculating an opening degree for an exhaust gas fan based on the pre-combustion gas pressure in the furnace and the post-combustion gas pressure in the furnace and by use of a gas increment pass algorithm, and using the opening degree to control the exhaust gas fan.
