Narrative:

A SH36; was on a visual approach to runway 10 at san juan airport. The aircraft requested a right 360 turn; the controller denied the request; due to haze in the vicinity and the primary radar being out of service. The local instructed the aircraft to go around and flight runway heading and to climb to 2000 ft; the local understood the aircraft was too high for the approach. The local coordinated with the approach controller the above instruction and gave control of the aircraft for southbound turns. The local departed another aircraft; a DHC8; from runway 8. The local observed the approach controller turning the SH36 northbound. The local stop the DH8's climb to avoid the two aircraft being at the same altitude; but the two aircraft came to a close proximity. Recommendation; equipment limitations was one of the main contributing factors. When the local called approach sector on the shout line; either sector can answer R-5 or R-1. In this case R-1 answered; local coordinated with him; but the sector that received the aircraft was R-5; which was the sector that turned the aircraft northbound. The tower is working from a temporary tower and consequently we only have one line to call the approach sector. No direct line only a shout line for both sectors.
