How much heat is generated by a 6" inline fan?

[Qanzilla]

Hello all,

I am in the process of setting up a small grow tent and sound is a major concern. The tent will be in my bedroom and the inline fan will be in a small crawlspace which is vented to outside. I soundproofed the crawlspace with insulation and carpeting, but I'm worried about the noise my fan will make.

Here's the fan/filter I got:
HTG Supply - A GrowBright 6" Inline Fan & Carbon Filter Combo

The website says the fan runs at 52db. I will most likely be running it at half speed, as my tent is only 3x3x5, and my light is a 400w in a tube

I would like to build a box for the fan to achieve maximum soundproofing, but I'm worried that the fan motor will get too hot in an enclosed box. Is this something I should be concerned with? I will line the box with egg carton foam and carpeting to reduce noise but ONLY if these fans don't heat up too much.

Thanks for the advice!

its a fan it cool its self mostly. I was thinking about a camping cooler for a box. mufflers also help as well as a well built fan a few extra bucks goes a long way with good fans.

Non sinusoidal speed controllers actually make it louder at reduced speed due to groan caused by squarish wave form.
