Baite BT18 Diesel Burner in Nairobi | Wisdo Merchants
Description
Baite BT18 Diesel Burner for Larger Boilers and Heaters
As a business grows, so does its demand for hot water, steam and process heat. A bigger boiler or thermal oil heater needs a burner with enough capacity to match. The Baite BT18 diesel burner steps up from the smallest model in its range for these heavier jobs. At Wisdo Merchants, we supply it to boiler contractors, technicians and plant managers across Nairobi and Kenya.
Baite burners come from Zhejiang Baite Burners Manufacture Co., Ltd., a Chinese burner maker. The BT18 belongs to the company’s BT diesel range, sitting between the BT14 and the larger BT26 and BT35 models. Like the rest of the range, it fires light oil automatically, giving plants an affordable way to heat their boilers and heaters.
Features and Benefits of the Baite BT18 Diesel Burner
- More capacity than the BT14. It sits one step up in the BT range for bigger boilers and heaters.
- Runs on diesel. It burns light oil, which is widely available and easy to store.
- Fully automatic. It lights, supervises the flame and shuts down under the control of the boiler or heater thermostat.
- Budget-friendly. It costs less upfront than many premium European burners.
- Consistent range design. It shares its layout with other BT models, so technicians who know one model can service the others.
For plant owners, this means reliable heat for growing operations at a sensible price. Meanwhile, maintenance teams benefit from a familiar design.

Installing the Burner
Picture a laundry that has fitted a bigger steam boiler to keep up with demand. First, the technician mounts the BT18 to the boiler plate with the flange and gasket. Next, they run the diesel supply and return lines to the burner and fit a nozzle sized for the boiler’s rating. After that, they connect the burner to the boiler controls and prime the fuel pump. Finally, they fire the burner, adjust the pump pressure and air, and check the flame with a combustion analyser.
Choosing the Right Size
Always size the burner to the boiler’s rated input. For smaller boilers, consider our smaller BT-series model. If you prefer an Italian-made burner, compare our Italian-made 95–213 kW alternative.
Safety and Handling
- Use qualified technicians. Only trained burner and boiler technicians should install, commission and service the burner.
- Ensure good ventilation. The boiler room needs enough fresh air for complete combustion.
- Check the flue. A sound, correctly sized chimney keeps flue gases safely out of the building.
- Keep fuel lines tight. Leaks let air into the pump and create a fire risk.
- Isolate power before work. Switch off and lock out the electrical supply before servicing.
- Service regularly. Clean the combustion head, replace the nozzle and check the flame at each service.
