In comments under this question I have heard of a Whirling Hygrometer which seems to be the same basic beast (two thermometers, one with a wet bulb from a cotton sock and small reservoir) but like the name says, this one you have to "whirl" around for most of a minute; presumably the evaporation is more efficient in the blowing air.
But I don't understand if that leads to a lower cold temperature and therefore requires a different equation, nor if the speed that it is whirled makes a difference. And I'm not sure why whirling is used if the static non-whirled kind also can be used, without moving parts.
Question: How does a whirling hygrometer work, how does it differ from static dry/wet bulb thermometer, and how to obtain humidity from its readings?

A study by Wang and Tang / Singapore's metrology centre published by 2007 mentions:
«... that although the psychrometer coefficient of a particular psychrometer can be quite consistent with long-term stability typically within the range of ± 1% rh equivalent, there are larger variations (up to 4% rh equivalent) among different psychrometers even of the same type.»
