The .append() appends HTML. You need to use <br />:

jQuery("#dialog")
  .text(information_by_equipment[name][1])
  .append("<br />" + information_by_equipment[name][2]);

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#dialog").append((information_by_equipment[name][1] + "<br>" + information_by_equipment[name][2]);
});

This should solve your problem. Simply add a <br> to enter a new line between your "lines".

If the above solutions are not working try this one.

jQuery("#dialog")
  .text(information_by_equipment[name][1])
  .append("
" + information_by_equipment[name][2]);
