I do work with MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt display in a Clamshell Mode and this mode is working fine but my MacBook Pro is very hot by now and the fan is spinning with it maximum capacity. The fan is doing its job but the heat generation will harm the life of MacBook Pro.

The most technology are there to look after the heating issue in MacBook Pro. All sensors senses the overheating and let the temperature down to the level in this case. You are right here that most of the electronic gadgets are lose their life because of overheating but for that there are so many gadgets are available in the market, try to use notebook cooler, this will keep the temperature down from outside.

Here issue with MacBook Pro will be resolved by its technology but the problem with fan is little bit big, so you can try external small or mini fan to cool down the temperature. This happens because of heavy load given by the user or if the user is performing such task which is taking long time to finish, then too fan will run fast. So I advice here to let it finish with the heavier one.

Here you need to know that clamshell mode is only when you plug it in power adapter. Using the battery, you cannot use it. If you start it with battery your MacBook Pro will fall asleep. And if connect power adapter and connect an external peripherals, power on the MacBook Pro, then close the lid and it will in clamshell mode automatically.
